Frailty thy name is human: Shakesepeare’s Hamlet

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a famous scene mentions that “Frailty, thy name is woman”. I would suggest that Frailty, thy name is human.

We all have our faults. As we are reading about Othello this week in my high school class, we see a man, manly as they come, subdued by being succumbed. He was a man, a human, frail in the moment as a result of being human. Need I say more. The Moor was ta’en by the Venetian. Frailty could overcome any of us. It is not a characteristic of women, but of being human. Frailty, the nature is human. Long live learning to live. Love and peace, Dan
