Hello, I'm analysing Hamlet as practice for my Literature exam. In Act 5, Scene 1 Ophelia is being given a Christian burial, the grave diggers are debating whether or not she deserves it since she has committed suicide.

Now, I am a muslim so I don't much know about the Catholic point of view (though ive always admired the religion). Since this Denmark is a Protestant country and the whole Catholic vs Protestant thing was a debate, would a Catholic point of view think she deserves a proper Christian burial or not? It's for the "alternative point of view" section of the analysis.

Thanks for your time!

Am part of the Circassian diaspora, currently learning Circassian and Russian to go back after uni, I was wondering how to handle racism there? I hear lots of stories from my relatives of Russians insisting that Circassians are really Syrians/Arabs/Turks, even though most of us don't have any mixed bloodlines. I personally, though my grandparents settled in Jolan, I really don't feel comfortable calling myself Syrian

There are also false perceptions that Muslims are quite backwards people (true in extremist areas but certainly not my extended family nor the way I practice Islam), how should I navigate bigoted people when they find out I'm Circassian/Muslim?
