Is Denmark is a prison a metaphor?

When Hamlet says that Denmark is a prison, he tells us metaphorically how he experiences his country; he sees her as a prison, which means that he feels imprisoned, limited, and restrained in front of everything the environment destroys and expects from him.


“Denmark's a prison” is a line from Hamlet by William Shakespeare, spoken in Act 2, Scene 2, line 245. Hamlet uses this line to imply that his home is like a prison because he is unable to escape his situation
