Since Hamlet is a tradegy i feel it is befitting for this image to represent the story. It shows a grave digger and i believe this could be the scene where Hamlet finds out who the grave is for… his beloved Ophelia. This is one of the mail tradegys in the story besides Hamlets father dying.

The origins of many superstitions are based on trust in magic or chance. An irrational belief that an object, or action, or circumstance which are not logically related to a course of events can influence its outcome. Ignorance and fear of the unknown combined with a false conception of causation and cessation resulted in many Renaissance superstitions. Fear of the supernatural and forces of nature or God resulted in the belief of superstitions during the Renaissance era. Many superstitions during the Renaissance period dated back to traditions and beliefs from much earlier times. The superstitions were also steeped in the belief in old magic and the mystical properties of animals and herbs. Renaissance superstitions also related to special chants, omens and names and numbers. Many traditional English customs are based on the mythical relationship to superstitions dating back to the Dark Ages and even further back to the Romans and their Gods and Goddesses.

i think that Dorothy can easily be interpreted to be a person or people could see her as themselves. Many kids our age could relate to her seeing as they are still on a journey and don’t really know where they are headed, and along with the other people in the story there are people who stand in our way and wishing for our demise and there are others who are always at our side and there for us.
