Hamlet had a , and he was also very intelligent. He wants to fulfill the promise he made with his father's ghost. Hamlet started a play as a prince who was very powerful but ended up as a dead person.

Atonement is considered a tragic hero, as she trapped herself and marched into the ladyrinth that she created by her own self. She was too awestruck and young to convince, insist and please others for making her own way back. The society never accepted her stance and state of mind and took her as a hysterical and silly little girl with no strong stance for life. On the other hand, Hamlet was also having a similar state of mind like Atonement as both had their own world that gave them strength for survival till death. Atonement is a novel based on the lives of true young lovers named Robbie Turner and Cecilia Tallis, who love story had a tragic ending due to Cecilia’s Jealous imaginary sister named Briony.

Robbie got imprisoned within this fictional story, and this was mainly due to deception made by Briony. Though their love and Cecilia’s hope kept them connected and alive. Briony has justified her so-called self-made happy ending by simply adding that she does not find anything good in this merciless story. The story has portrayed strength to stand against despair and oblivion. Both Robbie and Cecilia were not able to reunite ever after Robbie's imprisonment, but they never lost hope, and their death reunited them forever.

Atonement gives the idea that suffering allows the person to become closer to God. The central theme of this novel is that of seeking forgiveness. The novel is about the character named Briony who struggles with herself. Her life is full of guilt, and the novel represents how she repent guilt. Briony was powerful just like Hamlet, and she was also brave like him. However, she was not as intelligent and smart as Hamlet.
