Which statement provides the best objective summary of how hamlet develops a theme? hamlet is totally wrong when he talks about how death makes everyone equal. obviously, we have things like history books to keep us from forgetting people who are truly important. hamlet develops the theme “everyone is equal in the face of death.” hamlet introduces this idea after polonius’s death, and he explores it further when he reflects on how great people become dust. hamlet’s speech on alexander the great supports the theme that death makes everyone equal, but i think the play should have shown how we can keep our loved ones alive in our memories.
