description: Hamlet, a prince facing an impossible dilemma, is Shakespeare's most complex character. His uncle has usurped the throne of Denmark and married his mother. While he must set things right, he can act only in accordance with his own strict sense of honor and justice and he is more a philosopher than a man of action. Yet, as he fights an uphill battle in the midst of all the undercurrents of political intrigue, his loss of Ophelia is what defeats him in the end. All's Well That Ends The Novel Nowhere in literature does the power of love receive a greater test than in young Helena's endeavors to prove that she is the only woman for Count Bertram. This astonishing love story, strictly for the young, is one of the Bard's most intriguing tales, in which an impossible set of conditions is imposed upon a young wife as an obstacle to her future happiness. To the reader, ultimately, the question is, does a rotter like Bertram deserve such a wife? Perhaps only Helena, blinded by the eyes of love, would ever say yes. Did they live happily ever after? Only the Almighty can answer that.
