In act 5, scene 2, Hamlet again states his plan to revenge the death of his father.

Don’t you think it’s my duty now to kill him with this weapon? This man who killed my king, made my mother a whore, took the throne that I hoped for, and set a trap to kill me. Isn’t it completely moral to kill him now with this sword—and an easy conscience? And wouldn’t I be damned if I let this monster live to do more harm?

In other words: Don’t you think it’s my duty now to kill him with this weapon? This man who killed my king, made my mother a whore, took the throne that I hoped for, and set a trap to kill me. Isn’t it completely moral to kill him now with this sword—and an easy conscience? And wouldn’t I be damned if I let this monster live to do more harm?

(Third Body Paragraph)
The decline of Tyson shocked thousands of people and fans, as a result the media used Shakespearean tragic elements to draw attention towards the champ who was facing many adversities in life.

# data[].attributes.body
As the boxer quickly rose to the top, his obsession over wanting to be the best coupled with problems as drug abuse, failed marriages and excess of violence led him to his ultimate demise in his career. Mike Tyson was a great boxer full of skill and talent; at a very young age he already had a huge crowd of fans. He was paid a good salary for doing what he loved, fighting. When his fighting career was at it’s peak, he committed a series of mistakes, which caused him serious trouble. At First, Tyson was convicted of sexual assault in 1992. He was sentenced to three years in prison after being declared guilty for rape. After this, Gerard frequently abused of drugs and medications like Thorazine. He also became a heavy drinker and an alcoholic. In June 28, 1997, Tyson tried to come back into the spotlight, but he bit half of his opponent’s ear off, Evander Holyfield. He was then known for his uncontrollable rage and anger; this caused him a huge loss of fans and less people wanted to fight him. Mike Tyson was on his way to the end of his career.

Mike Tyson was able to achieve fame and fortune at a very early point in his life, he united the three heavy weight championship titles and due to this he was acclaimed by his fans all around the world. Mike Tyson grew up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood full of crime and corruption; but growing up in poverty actually led him to the path of his success. As a teenager he frequently got into trouble with the police for his criminal activities. He was sent to Tryon School for boys, a reform school in New York. There, a boxing instructor discovered Mike’s true potential for fighting and introduced him to a famous boxing manager called Cus D’Amato. He becomes Gerard’s legal guardian and D’Amato eventually leads him into the world of professional fighting. At the age of 20, Tyson becomes one of the youngest boxers to win the three heavyweight titles, WBC, WBA, and IBF. Due to his great skill and talent, he gained a total salary of 300 million dollars.

Evidence to use to compare Hamlet and Mike Tyson

Piece #1
In act 4, scene 4, page 3, Hamlet states in extensive solilioquy his desire for revenge. He no longer will hesitate to avenge his dead father. Below I include the part of his speech where he states this.

The imminent death of twenty thousand men,
That for a fantasy and trick of fame
Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot
Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,
Which is not tomb enough and continent
To hide the slain? Oh, from this time forth,
My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!

"When you have been the most famous sportsman on the planet, where do you go from there? Perhaps that is the problem. The only way is down (Ian Gittens)". At some point in his life Mike Tyson was indeed the most famous sportsman of the world. In an interview with Ian Gittens back in 2013, the former boxer explains how his fame and wealth dissolved through time. Tyson at a young age demonstrated innate talent to fight; however, his imperious actions destroyed his career. He developed anger control and drug abuse problems which affected different areas of his life. The downfall of such a famous man can be compared to the Shakespearean character Hamlet. It is safe to say that both are great examples of tragic heroes, both achieved greatness but their obsession and fractious attitude opened the path for their tragic demise. In order to illustrate the demise of a famous person like Mike Tyson, contemporary media uses tragic elements from Shakespearean literature.

"When you have been the most famous sportsman on the planet, where do you go from there? Perhaps that is the problem. The only way is down. (Ian Gittens)" In an interview that Ian Gittens performed on Mike Tyson on November 2013, the famous retired boxer explained how his career dissolved through time. The boxer as a youngster showed innate talent to fight, since he grew up in a rough nieboorhood he developed physical traits which would help him in the future. Mike achieved fame extremely rapid when we was only 20 years of age. His imperious way of acting in public led many people to think of him as intimidating and aggressive person, which in reality he was. This of course helped inflict fear in his opponents inside the ring. Mike Tyson's fractious attitude also caused several problems in his personal life. The media was able to portray Tyson as a tragic hero since he transitioned from being one of the most payed boxers of all time to a state of bankruptcy, drug addiction and depression. Due to his possession of tragic Shakespearean elements, Tyson and the character Hamlet share equal traits.
Old thesis:  It is safe to say that Mike Tyson did become famous through his boxing, but it is even more convincing to say that his downfall coupled with the interest of media sources made him even more popular around the world.
New Thesis after revision: Contemporary media used tragic elements to illustrate the demise of Mike Tyson in order to gain the attention of more people.

Who is Mike Tyson? Everything You Need to Know

Mike Tyson is a former heavyweight boxing champion, known for his ferocious and intimidating style. Read this biography to know about his life, profile & timeline.

# data[].attributes.body
This article reveals many details and events of the life of Mike Tyson. The author Ian Gittins illustrates the early life, road to fame and tragic downfall of one of the most famous boxers of all time. During the interview Mike Tyson tells Gittins, "I’ve had self-loathing my entire life".

Loathing = (noun) a feeling of intense dislike or disgust; hatred.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

Yet the higher the ascent into the celebrity stratosphere, the greater the fall. Mike Tyson crashed and burnt with the dread, unstoppable momentum of one of his own raw monsterings. He lost his world titles three years after winning them when the famously punishing training routines gave way to partying. In 1992 he was given a six-year prison sentence for rape.

Then, in 1997, Tyson fought Evander Holyfield in an attempt to regain his world crown. It was a bout seemingly watched by the entire planet, and for which he was paid a fee of $30 million. In the third round, with Holyfield well on top, Tyson chewed a lump from his opponent's right ear and spat it on to the canvas. When the fight was restarted, he bit and scarred Holyfield's other ear. The fight was stopped, and Tyson's disqualification was followed by a $3 million fine and a ban from the ring.

After that? After that, he really started going downhill. There was another jail term, for a street fight. His chaotic personal life and financial affairs led to bankruptcy. Retired from boxing and reduced to sparring for cash in the foyer of Las Vegas casinos, he admitted to drug addiction after yet another arrest. 'What did I turn into?' he later reflected. 'I was a f****** fat cokehead!'

Tyson's decline seemed terminal, and irreversible. Yet, somehow, shocked from his narcotic and alcoholic stupor by the death of his four-year-old daughter, Exodus, in a domestic accident in 2009, he began to fight back. He has attempted to eschew drink and drugs, proudly telling Ellen DeGeneres on her chat show in 2011 that he was 'two years sober'. Recently, he toured 36 US cities with the largely well-received The Undisputed Truth, the Spike Lee-produced one-man-show confessional that features him reciting a monologue penned by his current, third wife, Kiki Spicer.

A tell-all autobiography of the same title is out in Britain this month. So in 2013, against all the odds, Mike Tyson has conquered his myriad demons and rejoined the human race.

Or has he?

COILED INTO a hotel-suite chair in upstate New York, Mike Tyson still exudes charisma and menace. His preternaturally toned physique may be long gone, and he looks every one of his 47 years, but his unmistakable face retains its innate capacity to intimidate. For the duration of our interview, he flicks grapes high into the air and catches them in his mouth, the sunlight glinting on the tribal tattoo that sprawls across half of his face.

His voice comes as a shock, as it does every time you hear it. Far from the resonant baritone that his presence and stature lead you to expect, Tyson instead answers my questions in a high-pitched gabble, rendered sibilant by a slight lisp. Words tumble over each other: frustrated, he frequently abandons a response and begins it again, to try to get a better handle on a question.

Tyson has flown into New York from his Vegas home to launch another of his post-fight careers, this time as a boxing promoter. The following night, Iron Mike Promotions is staging a US super-featherweight title bout at an upmarket casino venue. I ask him what he learnt about promoting from his career-long dealings with Don King, a man who once sought to manage him and with whom he was frequently involved in legal action.

'Hey, I never learnt nothing about how to sell a fight from that man!' he says. 'My deals will be different. It's gonna be the fighters that get paid. I don't wanna give no damn manager no money.

I don't want to hear that crap.'

This mix of positivity and petulance sets the tone for what will be a frank, fraught and frequently confusing interview. With his burgeoning media career and various entrepreneurial sidelines, the purportedly newly sober Mike Tyson should be talking the language of recovery and redemption. He pays lip service to it, but he never sounds convincing - or convinced.

Typical is our exchange when I suggest to him that he must have found some inner peace to be able to undertake his current multiple exercises in introspection: the autobiography, the stage show, a fly-on-the-wall Being: Mike Tyson TV series. Would he have been able to do this stuff a few years ago?

'Hey, I feel comfortable with who I am when it comes to talking about myself,' he begins. 'It is pretty interesting. I find out a lot about myself when I start searching in my past. It can be scary.'

The past is another country, and sometimes we don't live there because it drove us out.

'Holy Moses!' he says. 'Retrospect is the word. Reflection is shameful sometimes, but healing. I was an animal for years but now I deal with life differently. I want to be humble, to the best of my ability...'

He pauses. There is a visible struggle between the therapy speak he has absorbed over countless years of sessions, and the street fighter who is never far beneath the surface.

The street fighter wins.

'I'm not humble,' he confesses. 'I haven't got a humble bone in my body. But I portray myself as being humble, and I hope that it becomes real.'

Mike Tyson is the strangest mix of a hugely conflicted human being and an open book. He runs through the film reel of his life's events, often with an air of horror, like a man who cannot quite believe everything that has happened. Despite the looming sense of shame that he has clearly never escaped, he is touchingly willing to talk about his desperately dysfunctional childhood.

His father, a street hustler, quit the family home just after Tyson was born. His mother was left to raise three siblings in Brooklyn alone. It was not a task she was well equipped to accomplish.

'I don't know how to explain my mother,' Tyson says. 'I don't want to say she was a prostitute, because she wasn't on the street, but she slept with men for money. She had been to college and everything but she didn't have good skills. I loved her yet she made me feel bad all the time. She was a full-blown alcoholic. Drinking, smoking, men, and sleeping for hours... Goddamn!

'We were always poorer than anybody and it made me feel like my family was less worthy than anybody else's. When I was young I was picked on and bullied and I would go robbing, hoping guys would accept me in their gangs and stuff. All the time, I used to dream about kicking everybody's ass and killing some people.'

By the time Tyson's mother died when he was 16, he was a regular occupant of Brooklyn and Bronx police cells. A thug and a petty thief, he had no interest in the 1970s boxing goliaths such as Ali, Foreman and Frazier. He only ever saw one Ali fight, on a TV in a bar. 'I was doing my pickpocketing shit and it was easy, because everybody was watching the fight,' he says.

Despite this indifference, Tyson excelled at boxing in reform school, where an ex-pugilist teacher spotted him and delivered him to the tutelage of Cus D'Amato, a septuagenarian trainer who had nurtured Rocky Graziano and Floyd Patterson. Tyson arrived in his care a ticking time bomb of volcanic hormones, wrath and insatiable self-disgust.

Did you realise immediately that you were brilliant at boxing?

'I never realised I was brilliant. I never thought I was anything at all. I was just a thief; there was nothing good about me. I was a scared little boy who wanted to be a tough guy. I thought I was shit, until Cus told me I was a gigantic reptilian Tyrannosaurus Rex monster. He really built up my confidence, but he built it up so high that he turned me into a f****** megalomaniac.'

D'Amato also turned the permanently enraged young Tyson into a fearless, ferocious fighting machine. His speciality? Psychotic ultra-violence. After turning professional at 18, he won his first 19 fights by knockouts. Twelve of them came in the first round: most of them in the first minute.

How did you get so psyched up to charge out of your corner in those first few seconds and wreak such carnage?

'Cus used to have me professionally hypnotised two or three times a day - before sparring, before training and before fights. My objective was to destroy.'

Did you ever feel sorry for the guy you were beating to a pulp?

'No, because Cus didn't like me being sensitive like that. He wanted me to be emotionless. He said feelings mean nothing. Feelings have nothing to do with your life. The only thing that they do is distract you.'

This is the Tyson we remember, the Tyson of legend; the barbaric automaton, the genius brute, powered by homicidal fury. He virtually dismembered all that came against him, rising through the ranks until he defeated the IBF champion Tony Tucker in 1987 to became the first fighter to hold all three world heavyweight belts simultaneously.

Thus began his imperial period during which he routinely - and with maximum violence - swatted away challengers like flies. His apex came in June 1988, when he faced the previously undefeated former Olympic gold medallist Michael Spinks in a title bout billed as the evenly balanced battle of the two finest fighters on the planet. Tyson had Spinks on the canvas and out for the count with 30 punches in 90 seconds.

You must have felt on top of the world.

'Shit, all those fights are like a blur to me now...' Tyson tells me, flipping another grape into the air, before allowing a truer memory to surface. A smile spreads across his face, 'Man, I felt invincible. I felt like a god.'

Yet Mike Tyson was a god with feet of the finest, weakest clay. Naturally, his precipitous rise to success had not eradicated his urge towards self-destruction: it had merely given it a bigger stage to act out upon. After the death of D'Amato, he sacked his long-term coach, Kevin Rooney, as rumours spread that he was training less and partying harder. In February 1990 in Tokyo, in one of the biggest upsets in sports history, Tyson lost his world crowns to a relative journeyman fighter, the 40-1 rank outsider Buster Douglas. It was the first time Tyson had ever been knocked out.

His personal life had similarly dissolved into anarchy. There had been a tempestuous, allegedly violent marriage to the soap actress Robin Givens, who divorced him after telling Barbara Walters in a televised interview that life with Tyson had been 'torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine'.

But Mike Tyson was still the Baddest Man on the Planet: boxing groupies queued up for him. 'There was just so many women, and I never treated them with respect because I had seen men have no respect for my mother,' he says now, with a mirthless laugh. 'It got to like I just wanted to hold someone, so I'd make sure someone was next to me every night just in case I wanted to do it. Like most celebrities, I didn't want a wife - I wanted a slave. A hostage.'

It was this brutish, unreconstructed attitude that led to Tyson standing trial in Indianapolis in 1992 accused of the rape of the 18-year-old beauty queen Desiree Washington in the early hours of the morning (a crime that he still vociferously and bitterly denies in his Undisputed Truth tour). His truculent, hostile attitude in court led to an inevitable guilty verdict. He spent the next three years in prison.

Notably, Tyson still talks about his incarceration with an air of simmering resentment. While inside he trained ferociously, as well as converting to Islam - although that did not appear to ease his reliably fractious state of mind.

'I went in 270lb and I came out 216lb,' he remembers. 'I always knew I'd box again and that I'd be world champion again. When people like Bowe and Holyfield, or Lennox and McCall, were fighting for the titles, I'd phone my friend's house and listen to the fights down the phone.'

Did you come out of prison a better man, or an angrier one?

'I came out real angry and bitter. That's why I got in more trouble and I didn't care who I hurt. I was a real bad, bitter person.'

WHIPPED BACK into shape by his time in prison, Tyson regained two of his three heavyweight world title belts within 18 months of his release. What followed was grisly beyond belief, and the episode that will forever define him in public memory, as he left Evander Holyfield's ear in tatters in the Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena ring.

What were you thinking of when you bit him? Did you hate him? I have hardly got the question out before Tyson interrupts me.

'I hated everybody!' he barks. 'I hated myself! That was what it was all about - controlled hate!'

What was it like to become the world's pariah at that moment, a global object of scorn and ridicule?

'This savage killer they are all afraid of... I'm not that guy,' he says, the words spat out like bullets. 'I wish I could be that guy but I'm not. I'm a scared, insecure little kid. Can you imagine? The world thinks I'm a savage and I'm an afraid little boy!'

Banned from boxing for a year, Tyson had another of his serial brushes with notoriety on his return. Before his doomed, final attempt to win back a world title, against the then-undisputed champion Lennox Lewis in 2002, he taunted the British boxer with some spectacularly misjudged pre-fight hype talk, 'I want to eat his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah!'

On some topics, Mike Tyson's remorse can seem like crocodile tears. On this one, his contrition is clearly genuine.

'Oh f***!' he groans, rocking in his chair. 'The disrespect! Can you believe that bullshit? I am so embarrassed and humiliated at what I said, and it will always linger around me because it is in writing. Nowadays I'm a pussy. I want to make amends but...'

His voice falls away. He lobs another grape into his mouth.

'... I don't know how to do it.'

Tyson's nadir was yet to come. Battered, beaten and broken, he finally retired from the ring in 2005 after losing a string of no-hoper bouts. 'It was getting ugly. I was getting my ass kicked. It hurt.' He drifted into a life that consisted of little more than 'hanging out, every day, getting high'. There was a conviction for cocaine possession; an arrest after a scuffle with a paparazzo at Los Angeles airport.

They were dark days. There must have been a lot of self-loathing.

'I have self-loathing now!' he interjects, brusquely. 'I'm trying to stop it. I've had self-loathing my entire life. I'm always gonna be depressed. I'm gonna be that sad guy for the rest of my life. I just have to work with it, that's all.'

So how is Mike Tyson's work going, this project of attempting to rebuild his life - his very self - and to put his history of abuse, barbarianism and subterranean self-esteem behind him? It has to be judged, at best, to be a work in progress, and one that is prone to debilitating, typically self-destructive failures of will.

Throughout a tortured life in which Tyson has mentally never truly left behind the mean Brooklyn streets of his childhood, he has been a regular user of both cocaine and marijuana. Yet the most seductive siren voice to him remains the demon drink.

'I'm an alcoholic,' he tells me, bluntly. 'I'm an alcoholic but I never tell people because I'm embarrassed, so I say I'm a drug addict. That's hipper than being an alcoholic.'

In fact, having publicly professed to be sober for more than four years, Tyson has recently lapsed and started to drink again. I ask him, is it two steps forward and one step back? He abruptly leans forward, and raises his voice, 'It's more like one step forward and three steps back.' As we speak, he has been sober for less than a week.

'But I don't wanna go that road no more,' he vows. 'So now I'm doing therapy and rehab again; starting all over on the 12 steps. I'm trying to live the sober route because I know that if I don't, I will die. When I am in my addiction I am a vicious, addict thief. Now I always want to be of service, and I want to be on my knees in that service, because when I think I am a superstar big shot, that is when I get high - and then I will die.'

It's a typically candid, confused confession, and it leaves me in the bizarre position of having the human urge to put a consoling arm around his shoulders; to assure him that everything is going to be OK.

Surely, I suggest, you are growing happier in your skin; getting nearer to being the person you want to be.

Tyson looks sceptical. 'I hope so, but it's scary,' he says. 'As you get older, you get scared. Can you believe that? You are scared. You're born into this world crying and you don't know if you are going to die disappointed.

I don't want to die disappointed.'

He pauses, collects himself, attempts to count his blessings.

'I'm just trying to be grateful to be the person that I am, and I'm very grateful to have a wife and children that love me. Because mostly I don't ever think I'm worthy of love, but I'm grateful to have it.'

If Mike Tyson were to die tomorrow, what would he choose as his epitaph? The perennially troubled former Baddest Man on the Planet regards me with a stare that implies that this may just be the dumbest question he has ever heard.

'I dunno. I might not have a gravestone. Or maybe it would just say, "I was here".'

Mike Tyson Life's Timeline

# data[].attributes.body
Mike Tyson had a rough childhood, factors like the absence of his father and poor living conditions in Brooklyn New York shaped him as a troublemaker and thief. At the age of 16 his mother died and his personal trainer Cus'Damato became his parent guardian. Its important to remember that Tyson was characterized by uncontrollable rage and use of violence. Only being 20 years old he win the three heavyweight titles. He basically became the most famous sportsman on planet. I got this interesting quote from the article/interview performed by Ian Gittens. "When you have been the most famous sportsman on the planet, where do you go from there? Perhaps that is the problem. The only way is down. (Ian Gittens)" I believe that Mike Tyson became even more famous due to the irrational decisions and events that shaped his career after achieving fame and fortune. His ultimate demise and tragic downfall was the headline of many media sources and it still is now a days.
