HAMLET is the work that is predominantly inhabited by the shadows of the missing, whether Shakespeare wrote it to care for some dear and unconfessed missing person of his own or not.

Nevertheless, as much as we see in 'Hamlet' a work of mourning that is among the most moving and restless in literature, we will never succeed in penetrating "the heart of the mystery" of Shakespeare. Besides, there is no need. The spectrum of our feelings for all that is deeper for us than a tear will always be enriched by the deeply structured opacity of the Shakespearean hero.

He will win the hardest battle of expression and will die the hardest death. "The rest is silence." Our right to this silence, the silence of a deeper understanding of ourselves and the other, was conquered on behalf of all of us by Hamlet.
