The people of the Bush had a difficult time understanding the concepts of Shakespeare because many of the idea they could not grasp. Like the idea of only having one wife and why that wife was so important. So it made the idea of someone going mad over the one he loved hard to understand. Also the concept of a ghost became lost in translation, so much that they could not understand the fact that it was representing Hamlets father and was not just an omen sent by a witch. These ideas have different meaning to both parties as well as many other concepts in the story.

So with all of these cultural differences between the Western World and the men of The Bush, the translation of the story was altered and lost meaning. The two worlds have many cultural beliefs that do not share the same ideas and make it hard for this story to have the same meaning across the board.
