In this written task, I have decided to rewrite William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, into different text message conversations between the characters. However, the whole play will not be included. In this play, the audience sees the different altercations and events in which the characters conversate with one another.

Woman: God’s second mistake? Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, who regarded ‘thirst for power’ as the sole driving force of all human actions, has many a one-liners to his credit. ‘Woman was God’s second mistake’, he declared.
