The readers are saddened because Antigone should not have died and she should be the queen of the kingdom instead of Creon.

Laertes is Claudius’s right hand man and if he got hold of the information that Hamlet is faking insanity, he would unquestionably report it to the king and that will foil Hamlet’s quest for revenge in the future. Ophelia always complies with her father as she follows his advice in matters of Hamlet as she denies Hamlet’s visits and refuses his letters. Thus, Hamlet should make Ophelia believe that he has lost his sanity for his plan to work out and that wouldn’t be possible if he marries Ophelia. To add on, Ophelia’s devoted obedience to her father makes Hamlet allege that Ophelia is deceptive and unfaithful. Hamlet is angry with Ophelia and in rage, he tells her that her beauty is dishonest and that he did love Ophelia once and at the same time, he never did.
His goal in writing this play was to make Phaedra a more sympathetic character to the reader and less of a villain in which she was portrayed as in the original myth and Euripides’ tragedy. Aricia is the princess of the Blood Royal of Athens who, after Theseus killed all of the men in her family, was forbidden to marry in order to make sure she doesn’t give birth to any boys who could contend for the throne. However, with a twist of fate, Hippolytus fell in love with Aricia, creating a forbidden love between them. Of course Theseus had her off limits so she would not be able to have children, but as fate would have it, Theseus was believed to have died while he was out on one of his travels. This gave both Hippolytus and Phaedra an opportunity to chase after personal desires, but unbeknownst to Hippolytus, Phaedra wanted Hippolytus to herself.

After finding out who it was that laid the body to rest, he had no choice but to fulfill his promise of killing them to show his people that his first official act as king was a non-compromising one. On top of that Antigone was a woman, and in their culture woman had absolutely no authority above men. Letting Antigone walk away after disobeying his order would not only insult him as a king, but it would show that even a woman could walk over their new king with ease. Through his fear of being seen as a weak king Creon ordered the death of Antigone by sending her into the pit with limited food, so that eventually she would starve to death. Antigone’s was backed into a corner with no way out that she could see at the time and she hung herself, this is the result that
