The Question

What defines a person’s identity?

At some point or another everyone has questioned their identity. During our teenage years or in times of trials we find that one questions who they really are even more. As I fill out many college applications I wonder who am I? This brings about other questions like how do we say who someone is, what do we base someone’s identity on? We are not alone in our struggle to define who we are for even the great Hamlet tries to answer the question of identity in his situation. Hamlet is just one of the characters who can help us answer the question of who we are as a human being. This year I will be looking into great literature to answer the question, What defines a person’s identity.
