The author begins to tell the story with assumptions that it is a universal text and that no matter who hears or reads the story, the conclusion from it will be somewhat similar. When he shares Hamlet with the people of the Bush, it is obvious that just about everything has an entirely different meaning to them. They seem to think it is almost rediculous that Hamlet wanted to kill his father's brother because of a "ghost"; something that they were unable to grasp because they don't believe in it. It was almost as if they viewed it in an opposite way; while for the author it is clear that Hamlet should be upset about his mother's quick remarriage, the people of the Bush see that it is an entirely good and normal thing. This story is nearly impossible to be universal because while they were able to understand what was going on, they viewed what was happening in a completely different way.
