A person is created by the experiences they go through and by the things they learn throughout their life. It is the question of who each individual is and what makes up their identity. Writers, no matter the type, have been addressing the issue of identity for thousands of years. One playwright who stands out in this regard is Shakespeare and his play Hamlet. The play continually questions who the individuals are and what makes up the person they are. Yet another play can be associated with Shakespeare’s masterpiece, as Tom Stoppard takes the minor characters in Hamlet and develop them into something more in his play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The twentieth century reinvention of the supporting characters from Hamlet,

Agnieszka Holland’s film Europa Europa (1990) is a Holocaust film through and through. While the Holocaust itself takes a bit of a backseat to the story of Solomon Perel who lives on the opposite end of the Holocaust, there is no denying that this film is centered around the Holocaust. The film utilizes tropes commonly found in this film genre such as the jew as a victim trope, which depicts solomon as an almost passive presence as the Nazis around him place him where they see fit and set him down a path that would mentally devastate anyone. And while Solomon was passive in the path he was led down he did work very hard to maintain that path and in doing so his life, which demonstrated Holland’s use of the crafty jew trope. Holland also made good use of the passive observer with her use of peephole like shots and placing “Jupp” in a position of someone who wants to do something but can’t if he wishes to preserve his own life.

Is it better to live a life that is long and mundane or one that is short but fulfilling? It is a question with no right answers.

The only control that you have, is to live the life that you desire, so when the time comes, you can leave this world peacefully, knowing you have lived your life.
