Mousetrap In Hamlet

Hamlet’s video recording also connects us with Hamlet by showing us his life outside of Shakespeare’s play.Hamlet’s family and his obscure relationship with Ophelia are explored more in Hamlet’s video diaries. During the “too too solid flesh” soliloquy, we see Hamlet watching a recording of the family, showing his mother and father ice skating. This clarifies the quality of Hamlet’s parents’ marriage, showing a couple who love each other enjoying each other’s company. Moreover, the quality of Hamlet’s parents’ relationship is further established in Hamlet’s “Mousetrap” film. The collage of television families suggests that there was no flaw in Hamlet’s family life before Claudius ruined the happy family’s bliss. However, this is Hamlet’s view of his parents relationship
Almereyda, the first director clearly defining Hamlet’s private place, shows the room as Hamlet’s domain, implying that Hamlet’s room is another reflection of his personality. Hamlet’s room is an apartment is Elsinore hotel and is all his stuff is cramped in here. The room seems to mirror the unorganised, chaotic state of Hamlet. The desk, the central place with his computer and filming equipment, is overflowing with paper, books and stationary; Hamlet’s bed is never neat and the floor is also nearly invisible, under clusters of papers. Hamlet’s room may also be his way of locating himself in Denmark Corporations. Compared to the rich and neat world of the company, Hamlet’s room reflects himself, showing how he has adjusted the reality of his world to his liking. Hamlet takes the room and removes all the association with the rest of Elsinore, domesticating the room with his belongings but also with unnecessary furniture. As such his room becomes his, lacking any resemblance to Elsinore and the rest of Denmark
