Post 26: Is Hamlet a Modern or Ancient Hero?

Hamlet was known to be kind, but cruel, smart, but alone, and was most importantly brave and known to be a hero because of his being called upon to kill his own uncle. In my opinion, I think that Hamlet is a modern hero because it is easier for us to relate to him and his problems, rather than an ancient hero and what he/she must face. Hamlet's problem could happen to anyone, whether it be centuries before or in today's society. His feelings, questionable acts, and his issues alone are all aspects by people in the modern day. When Hamlet says, "Listen to many, speak to a few" this can be considered advice today rather than in previous years, and his heroism and the things he says still can be advice and words of the wise to anyone today, which makes him more of a modern day hero in our  modern day world; along with the fact that Hamlet's work is still popular and well-known literature today, this is another supportive reasoning.
