Summary/Abstract: The rich world of characters in Shakespeare’s writings are defining for the evolution of the collective mental in the whole world. The analyses and the introspections realized on the identity of the universal human being, faced with the unbelieve evolution and many times to the inconsistency with one’s own rules imposed by religions, morals, society, ethnicity, education and geographical position, lead to an incredible conjunction between the destiny and the imposed stereotype in the characters defined by the psychanalysis of the present centuries. The education received from the good and beloved friend, Yorik, in the absence of a harmonious family relationship, places us in a new mystic and alchemic perspective towards several ways to register and perceive the surrounding realities. In the case of the characters from Hamlet, Hamlet – the father, Hamlet – the son, there is a mystic and initiator journey between life and death, where the different faces of this uncontrollable dimension of the world from behind are successively introduced in the everyday life. A more dedicated analysis of the educational space where Hamlet – the son grew up, but also the methods to get informed later by the resources of the time when the action was placed and the social condition imposed by Shakespeare to the characters in discussion, are keys to doors that open new horizons of the human interior, looked through the eyes of the theatre people as practitioners and directly involved in transposing the analyses in the theatre creative act. All these create premises of analyses between the myth of the death, the analysis of life through education and justifying the facts thrown in the big ocean of the human stereotype.
