Building on interest in the religious dimensions of the play, this study shows how Shakespeare uses "Hamlet" to comment on the Calvinistic Protestantism predominant around 1600. By considering the play's inner workings against the religious ideas, it explores how Shakespeare portrays in this work a deterministic universe in the Calvinist mode.
