Week 8-Time

“If you only had 48 hours left to live, would you spend it like you normally spend your weekends? If not, why spend 2/7th of your life wasting your free time? After all, free time isn’t free.

As Hamlet implied to be is the answer as some individuals are scared at the very thought to consider while others accept it so easily they no longer fear death. What if Hamlet knew the last days of his father would he try to alter the discourse of destiny and fate? Would Laertes do the same?
