The human dilemma …

… The Inexhaustible Hamlet by Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal Summer 2014. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Hamlet the character and Hamlet the play elucidate the inevitable and insoluble paradoxes of human existence, the very heart of our mystery, which no technical sophistication will ever pluck out: a mystery that explains why puzzlement at our own situation is the permanent condition of mankind.
