How does Hamlet relate to teenagers of today's society?

An essay question that i have for a class. i already have examples of protectiveness of parents (ophelia and her father) if you could give me more ideas= AWESOME!How does Hamlet relate to teenagers of today's society?
Hamlet is dealing with the remarriage of his mother - that's something a lot of teens can relate to.





Hamlet is being asked to do things he doesn't feel like he's ready for and doesn't know how to do.





Most people have felt betrayed at one time or another. Hamlet feels betrayed by his uncle (who killed his dad) his mom (who married his uncle) and his school friends Rosencratz and Guildenstern who plot with his uncle to kill him.





Hamlet doesn't know what to do, he's moody, and his mom and step-father are worried that he's crazy.





Did you ever get contradictory advice from your parents that couldn't possibly be followed? That's what Laertes gets from Polonius.





Ophelia is caught between loyalty to her father and the guy she's in love with, and she's also really worried about her boyfriend because he's not acting like himself.





Good luck!How does Hamlet relate to teenagers of today's society?
