In Shakespeare’s Hamlet‚ the betrayal of Claudius to Hamlet’s father reveals the theme of autonomy‚ appearance vs. reality and revenge. Create something from nothing‚ Claudius succeed put himself to throne after taking Hamlet’s father out. He decides his fate to be with his dreamed woman (Gertrude)‚ to be Hamlet’s

version of Hamlet the director‚ Kenneth Branagh‚ wanted the viewers to find Shakespeare interesting and full of action and drama. Kenneth chose the right direction to go in to keep the audience’s attention but it did not show the true tragedy of Hamlet. The story of Hamlet is very depressing because many people are betrayed and die. Hamlet’s own uncle killed his father and married his mother. It is easy to feel sympathy for the characters that had lost people they loved; such as Hamlet and Ophelia

Hamlet can only be considered man driven through turmoil due to his quest for revenge. As Hamlet faked madness‚ it seemed that his plans were easier to obtain. Hamlet only acts as an insane man would while others were around. Alone‚ he would turn into a much saner Hamlet. He commits no actions without reason‚ and he is far too intelligent to be proclaimed mentally unstable. Hamlet’s “insane” actions are also very complex because they allow not only his points to be made‚ but in a believably

William Shakespeare is probably the greatest dramatist of England. I think everyone has read one of his great plays or at least has seen one of the movies which are based on Shakespeare’s work. In this essay I will compare two of his tragedies ’Hamlet‚ Prince of Denmark’ and ’Tragedy of King Lear’. King Lear is perhaps Shakespeare’s most psychologically dark tragedy. The naive and pitiable Lear with his children‚ Goneril‚ Regan and Cordelia present all that is right and wrong with a father’s relationship

Franco Zeffirelli 1990s Hamlet is far from identical to Shakespeare’s play‚ but it’s an interpretation that works. Having read Hamlet before watching the film I question some of Zeffirelli’s changes but I can understand why. One major change Zeffirelli makes to the original text is that he adds the Oedipus Complex I believe Zeffirelli made this change because he wanted a more of a relationship for Hamlet other than Ophelia‚ it adds more tension between Claudius and Hamlet‚ and last added more to
