Margaret Answers That Question

In his most famous soliloquy, Hamlet muses on the problems of mortality.  He asks us “who would fardels bear . . .”

And the answer, of course, is Margaret, because while Hamlet characterizes toting around bundles of things as work, and suggests that no one would do it if they weren’t afraid of death, Margaret cheerfully gathers up bundles of sticks and runs around the backyard giving them to people.

Notice her left hand.

So clearly what Hamlet needed was a morning spent with Margaret to cheer him up.
