The Awakening of Man Hamlet

More about the book

The book presents a profound psychological exploration of awakening, emphasizing that true transformation requires the complete removal of one's old self rather than merely adopting new behaviors. John Stubbs argues that superficial changes will ultimately be corrupted by the old self, leading to the necessity of eradicating even the part that seeks change. This unsettling notion is reflected in the fate of Hamlet's characters, who all meet their demise, leaving no remnants of their former selves, except for Horatio, the sole survivor tasked with conveying the story.
