Is Hamlet great precisely BECAUSE it doesn't have the most orderly narrative thrust? TS Eliot calls the play a mess, but is that actually part of its appeal?

There's a lot of fuckups and shit hitting the fan in Hamlet. Lots of disorder. Isn't that part of why we like it? A bit of "how like life" sort of thing. Hamlet feels like a tragedy that could happen in real life, and happen to any of us. In this way it is very Modern, and I actually think Bloom is on to something in his idea that Shakespeare invented the Modern human.
