Shakespeare’s Worldview Reflected in His Drama the Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: Genetic Structuralism

Abstract

Literary work is a product of humanity. It means it reflects humanity in all circumstances. As a product of humanity, literary work constantly changes based on the phenomenon, important events in certain period of era, and the author's mood. The author cannot be separated from the work because he or she expresses the thought in literary work. The author is also an individual who cannot be free from his own life. As a member of a society, an author is influenced by communities. It shows that the author is one of the society unit. The author's work then is influenced by the society, and his social surroundings also gain knowledge.The experience and values of the author as part of his social influence his works, and this can appear through the character he creates. Even though the character he creates just imaginary character, the character's thought, attitude, and moral seems like in real life. This is the reason why literary woks relate to real life. Warren and Wallek agree that literary works can serve as accurate approximations of reality. "Literature is a social institution that uses a social invention as its medium language. In addition, literature "represents life," and "life" is primarily a social reality, even though literary imitations of the individual's natural world and inner or subjective world have also been made.
