Shakespeare’s famous revenge tragedy Hamlet is a story of unrelenting twists and thrills of madness and revenge. I have chosen to compare this play to Michael Almereyda’s film made in 2000 that is a modern interpretation of the original text and was an attempt to do to Hamlet what Baz Luhrman did to Romeo and Juliet.

After careful consideration about the factors presented‚ I have decided that the 2000 presidential election between G.W Bush and Al Gore was illegitimate.

Al Gore won in 2000‚ the absolute majority of votes‚ but received fewer votes in the Electoral College as his opponent George W. Bush. Another disadvantage is the focus of the candidates on states where pollsters
