Explain the part of this piece that reads: "hamlet's ability to adapt itself to the preconceptions of almost any audience, allowing the viewers, in the play's own sardonic phrase, to 'botch the words up fit to their own thoughts' (4.5.12), results partly from the boldness of it's design." how does the play's design allows this? find a quote from hamlet that can be interpreted multiple ways.

the third paragraph is your answer,

"but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "

the author is saying that she is in control
