CONCLUSION: “We [humans] are such stuff…As dreams are made on.” His body “suffer[s] a sea of change.” Hopefully, we have examined Shakespeare’s play and considered it’s relevance in our lives. The play offers us concepts such as forgiveness and repentance, as well as a changing of one’s heart, and hopefully this play has caused us to look inside of ourselves as people. The play also gives us memorable characters (and since many of us are drawn to those things that we can relate to), and we may have begun to discover ourselves as actors.
