Nobody saw this coming because of the fact that his whole career revolved around happiness and comedy.  Throughout his 63 years, he always has an incredible personality, big heart and very good talent. While making others happy he was suffering from depression. “I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.” ― Robin Williams. Hamlet also believes that there is destiny, he believes that if something is supposed to happen, it will happen. Hamlet: If it be now, ’tis not to come. If it is not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come. (Act 5, Scene 2). Hamlet believes that there is a destiny and that you should always get prepared cause it might be good or bad. They both know that their life had an end. The cause of both of their dead was depression. Their depression beat them both, Robin ended up killing himself and Hamlet got killed, seeking revenge.

He suffered with depression through the years, however that didn't stop him from making others smile. “Smile boy, it's the sunrise (His last movie line, ever)” ― Robin Williams. He eventually became on of the America’s funniest performer. “I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” ― Robin Williams. As William mentioned, his way of fighting with depression is by making others people smile.  Hamlet in the play ‘Hamlet’ by Shakespeare shows how depression changes his life and the different decisions he makes over time. Unlike Williams, the way Hamlet fights against depression is by getting revenge of his fathers death. “GERTRUDE: What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me? Help, help, ho! POLONIUS: (from behind the arras) What, ho? Help, help, help! HAMLET: How now, a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead! (Act 3, Scene 4).  During this scene he can see Hamlet kills Polonius due to the fact that he is in Claudius side that killed his father. He gets revenge due to his depression and madness against Claudius.  Hamlet, such as Robin Williams fights over depression to have a good life.

GERTRUDE
What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me?
Help, help, ho!
POLONIUS
(from behind the arras) What, ho? Help, help, help!
HAMLET
How now, a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead!
(Act 3, Scene 4)

Paraphrased- Sparknotes
GERTRUDEWhat are you going to do? You won’t kill me, will you? Help!
POLONIUS(from behind the tapestry) Hey! Help, help, help!
HAMLET: What’s this, a rat? I’ll bet a buck he’s a dead rat now. (He stabs his sword through the tapestry and kills POLONIUS)

Own Words: In this scene, Hamlet kills Polonius since he was mad that Polonius spies him. Polonius was sent by Claudius to sky on Hamlet. When Hamlet realized that Polonius was in Claudius side we killed Claudius acting as a revenge.

Hamlet: The fair Ophelia!—Nymph, in thy orisons

Be all my sins remembered. (Act 3, Scene 1)

Paraphrased: Here comes ophelia! Ophelia, please pray for me!

Own Words: Hamlet is revealing that he wishes to die in the last part of his speech. In the beginning he wonders if it is better to be alive, and endure the suffering or if it is better to die, and stop fearing the eternal sleep of death. Finally, when Ophelia arrives, Hamlet expresses that he wants to die himself, as he says "Be all my sins remembered" meaning that he wishes she prays for his sins once he is dead.

US actor and comedian Robin Williams took his own life at his California home, police have confirmed.

Marin County Sheriff's Lt Keith Boyd said Williams, 63, had been treated for depression and killed himself by hanging.

The entertainer was last seen alive by his wife on Sunday evening, and was found dead at about noon on Monday, Lt Boyd said.

Tributes have poured forth from President Barack Obama and others.

Lt Boyd said Williams's wife saw him before she went to bed the evening before and left the house at 10:30 the next morning, believing him still to be asleep in another room.

Just before noon California time (19:00 GMT), the actor's personal assistant became concerned when he did not respond to knocks on the door, he said. The assistant entered the room and found Williams dead and cool to the touch.

After a post-mortem examination on Tuesday morning, investigators determined the preliminary cause of death to be asphyxia by hanging, but officials were waiting on the results of toxicology testing before making a final ruling.

Tributes from family

"Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little greyer." Son Zak

"He was always warm, even in his darkest moments." Daughter Zelda

"I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again." Son Cody

Williams was famous for films such as Good Morning Vietnam and won an Oscar for his role in Good Will Hunting

In the past Williams had talked, and even joked, about his struggles with alcohol and drugs. His representative said on Monday he had also been "battling severe depression".

He had recently returned to a rehabilitation centre to "fine-tune" his sobriety, the Los Angeles Times reported in July.

In a statement, Williams' wife, Susan Schneider, said she was "utterly heartbroken" and asked for privacy for the family.

"As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

Mr Obama said Williams "made us laugh. He made us cry."

"He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalised on our own streets."

Monty Python star Terry Gilliam, who directed Williams in The Fisher King, told the BBC he had not met "anyone as exceptional as Robin was".

"He seemed to be a kind of receptor of all knowledge, whatever it was, whether it was in the news, or something from an encyclopaedia or a book, he seemed to know all this stuff.

"He could then reassemble it in the most incredible combinations, which was always surprising, funny and outrageous.
