Hamlet: Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special observance, that you o’erstep not the modesty of nature; for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature . . . –Hamlet, William Shakespeare Based on the passage, what is Hamlet’s opinion about theater? Actors should try to represent people as they really are. Plays should impart a moral or religious lesson. Actors are too tame and should be as loud and emotional as possible. The theater is not a proper place for someone who is modest and virtuous.
