Nell'opera teatrale di Shakespeare, Amleto è l'espressione più studiata, più seguita nelle minime svolte della sua natura, di un amore/rifiuto della vita che si realizza nella sua passione di inventare la propria e le altrui esistenze; di una profonda incertezza della propria realtà che conduce a creare, attraverso la messinscena e l'intrigo, precise immagini di sé affinché queste restituiscano un artificiale senso di realtà. Ne è l'espressione più perfetta, la più rigorosamente finalizzata a se stessa; tuttavia non l'unica. Il personaggio Amleto, la maschera Amleto percorre l'intero itinerario teatrale di Shakespeare, ne è uno degli elementi portanti, così da poter giustificare l'ipotesi di una autentica identificazione Shakespeare-Amleto
