//** Socratic Discussion Questions/Conflict Created by Death **// 1.What if Hamlet’s mother actually killed the late King Hamlet, to be with King Claudius?

2.Could Claudius have murdered his own brother, for a reason other than the wealth and the queen?

3.Murder in this country can be either first or second. In the country we live in, if someone is convicted of either type of murder, he is sentenced to imprisonment for life as a punishment. However, in other countries such as Saudi Arabia the punishment for such a crime is being hanged. In the novel, Hamlet killed King Claudius in order to obtain revenge for his father’s death. Can a murder only be avenged by murder or is imprisonment for life sufficient. Should capital punishment be legalized in Canada, why or why not? How has culture or religion played an impact on your opinion?

//** Problem Created by Death **// Euthanasia is an issue that exists due to the mere existence of death. Euthanasia refers to the practice of willingly ending your life due to no longer being able to bear the pain and suffering. This issue is on the rise and many people have been debating over the conflict of whether this should become legalized or not. Although in many places such as Norway and some U.S. states this practice has been legalized, the legality of this issue in Canada is still being debated upon. In terms of legalizing euthanasia, many religious and moral arguments have been brought forth within this extensive debate. || By: Zac Crocker

**Socratic Discussion Questions**

1. What is a counter argument to why Hamlet didn't just kill himself after the pain of his father's death became too excruciating to handle? 2. Why do you think Hamlet feels no remorse about writing the letter which instructs the execution of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern? 3. Is there reason to doubt that Hamlet did not actually want to die once he was already dying? ||
