Hamlet and Charlie

Find a summary of Hamlet and try to explain why Bill made Charlie read this play.

On April 26, Charlie explains: “It has also helped me while I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. It didn’t give me any answers necessarily, but it was helpful to know that someone else had been through it. Especially someone who lived such a long time ago”

Why is it especially important that it was a person who lived so long ago? What do you think is wrong with Charlie (if anything).
