Hamlet -To be or not to be – parody
Introduction
Parody can be defined as the use of another person’s work for the purpose of creating a humor. The following is a parody that seeks to ridicule the verse in Hamlet’s work ‘to be or not to be’
To do math or not to do math- that is the question
That lingers in many students’ minds,
Whether tis good to spend sleepless nights
Trying to operate figures that always give wrong answers.
Is it wise for one to torture the mind?
Trying to chase the wind
Or telling the waves to stop hitting the shore?
All these are futile efforts and they will come to naught.
But the life, the careers, they perpetuate this state of being haunted
That one has no option but to excel in arithmetic.
This leaves the students in a dilemma,
Whether to get harassed and stand better chance in a job market
Or to risk their lives.
Thus no one wants to quit, even if the going is tough
But the question still lingers,
Is it worth to continue in this torture?
