- 362: Hamlet - Movie Critique
- The movie of Hamlet was an excellent, as far as book-movies go. I believe it was produced with focus, reason, and logic. The characters were also portrayed with a good interpretation. There were several changes to the play ... The first scene in particular was missed. This played a part in setting the stage and was part of the whole theme throughout the whole play. It was in this scene that the ghost of Hamlet Sr. was first seen and where much of the plot developed.

In addition, familiarity with languages, literature, law, politics, history, geography, and court ... Edward de Vere.

The movie starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close left out and even added things that were not originally in the play.

- The character of Hamlet is very prestigious, but he has many shortcomings. In many cases, he shows that he is all words and no action. He waits until the very last minute to take a course of action. Hamlet realizes this, and he wishes that he had the characteristics of Fortinbras, Laertes, and Horatio.

- 369: Hamlet
- Hamlet The work that I wish to discuss is Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" as a scholarly work in regards to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which is included in Sven Birket's Literature: The Evolving Canon. I believe that the most important issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's ... s response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of Hamlet as well as the consideration of what role Hamlet plays in modern society.
