Almighty Roar Hamlets Father Scene
512 wordsI believe Frances Zefferilli's version of Shakespeare's Hamlet, made in 1990, is one of the best versions of the play to be put onto screen. The film, starring Mel Gibson as Hamlet, and Glen Close as Queen Gertrude, takes a different look to the play. Zefferilli explores the physiological stability of Hamlet very well, especially in Act 3, Scene 4. The interpretation I got of that scene in the text was different to the one given in the movie. After reading the scene, I got the idea that Hamlet w...

Men In Her Life Claudius Guilt
1,591 wordsOne must always be weary of the truth because it is quite often manipulated to serve the needs of any person who requires that the truth be on their side. Quite often, the only way to discern the truth from the fiction is by way of a deceptive act, because an act of deception always exposes both its self and the truth to be two quite different things. Nowhere is this more true than in William Shakespeare's, Hamlet. One of the major themes in the play is in fact, deception. This central theme is ...

It seems to me, the plays couldn t have been tragedies if this didn t happen. In the plays we read, important characters evolved into madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to see how this series of events would be an ongoing theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the same outcome was to be expec...
