Ancient Greek and Christianity both have a different view of death. Thus, the idea of ​​death and the afterlife was shown in opposite ways in the two texts. Death permeates Hamlet from the beginning of the tragedy through the ghost of King Hamlet. Suicide was a desirable way to replace the suffering of life, but it is forbidden by the Christian religion. Hamlet also explains how the body returns to dust in the end and what happens in the afterlife. However, Plato's death in apology was an unknown idea so Socrates does not fear it. Moreover, death is an honorable thing for men. For Socrates, death is the non-existence or transmigration of the soul. Death permeates Hamlet from the introductory part of the play. The ghost of Hamlet the King announces the notion of death and it costs. Hamlet has a youthful attraction to death; His friends told him that searching for the ghost was not a good thing because the ghost is an ominous omen for Denmark and the biggest issue for the health of the entire state. This is a notable indication of the rot in the state produced by Claudius' murder of his brother. However, Hamlet's fascination with death was excessive, meaning he was willing to lose everything to follow the ghost. Hamlet's grief was greater than that of Claudius and his mother and this made him more obsessed with death. "I am the spirit of my father, condemned for a time to walk by night and by day, confined to fasting in the fires, until the vile crimes committed in my nature's days are burned and purged” (Hamlet, act 1 scene 5. P28). These lines show that the ghost's recent location is purgatory. The ghost tells Hamlet that his soul is left to wander the earth because his murder still goes unpunished. The image of ...... middle of paper ...... sharing knowledge about the suffering in their lives. However, the hypothesis of a transmigration of the soul to another place identified as metempsychosis may be false. Socrates believed that there was only one place for the dead to go, but we logically think that there could be different places for souls to go after death. According to the Christian belief that heaven and hell exist, souls can be transmigrated to one of them depending on the person's bad or good behavior on earth. In conclusion, the idea of ​​death in Hamlet was different from the meaning of death in Plato's Apology. What happens after death is clear to Hamlet: the soul goes to heaven or hell and the body decays and returns to dust. In contrast, death for Socrates is the non-existence or transmigration of the soul to another place. Death is the unknowable so Socrates is not afraid of it.
