4. William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, can be considered a metafiction as the author uses not only the play within the play to act as a commentary on entertainment not being intended for every audience member, that plays and other forms of drama are driven towards a specific audience, but also Hamlet himself to show the differentiation in styles of acting and interpretation of plays. Shakespeare expresses this concept with the play within his play and Polonius’s reaction to the players soliloquy
one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, Hamlet is quoted often in a variety of settings. Nearly every educated person in America or otherwise can recognize and place the famous “To be or not to be.” (III.i.63) However, it is apparent that many of those who take time to read the full work are disappointed by its gruesome, tragedy of an ending. They must be unacquainted with the idea that a tragic play ends with a tragedy. In truth, the conclusion of Hamlet is a logical one brought to pass by Hamlet’s

October 2017 Rationale Over the past decade, technology has advanced to become an essential in daily life. It has evolved to the internet, social medias, and a way of communication. In this written task, I have decided to rewrite William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, into different text message conversations between the characters. However, the whole play will not be included. In this play, the audience sees the different altercations and events in which the characters conversate with one another. The idea of
mother and an uncle rather than of a king, queen and a prince and precisely that is the reason why it gets universal and very relatable. A prince is supposed to be very sure of himself, always knowing what to do when but doubt and uncertainty is Hamlets middle name. He is confused, infuriated and hurt. Similarly, Claudius does not act as audaciously as a king should. He does not kill his brother openly but assassinates him secretly. All his actions are furtive which alludes to the fact that he is
The movie begins with the burial of King Hamlet, who mysteriously died. Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude, wastes no time in marrying Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. Hamlet is deeply saddened and angered by this and he shows his anger toward his mother throughout the play. One night, Horatio and a pair of watchmen discover a ghostly figure roaming the castle that resembles Hamlet’s dad. They tell Hamlet of their discovery, and he decides to go on watch so that he might see this ghost. Once the men venture back
Watching the blurred, low quality security camera footage of Hamlet speaking of his major conflict about his mother’s marriage with Claudius, the audience sneaks into his private life and eavesdrops on his first soliloquy. Yet, Hamlet soon begins to reach out to the audience and acknowledges their presence as he communicates directly with them. Seeming both ignorant and secretive towards others in this soliloquy, it is odd that Hamlet would quickly open up to the masses as he contemplates his issue
I, Horatio, speaking in regard to my beloved Hamlet who lost his life in tragedy. His body rest in the soil, yet his soul remains alive in my heart. A young prince who lost the chance and privilege to express his strategies and strength to better the land of Denmark. All people be aware that the prince has been murdered just like his father the king. The king and his son, Hamlet, were as innocent as a white sheet of paper. They were too good to have their life taken away. My sorrow and grief will
since words may lie but actions will always tell the truth. In Act 3.1 of The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, Shakespeare highlights trust among friends, family, and the appearances vs. the reality of each individual. First, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern always present themselves to Hamlet as childhood friends, but on the contrary, are summoned by the King to ascertain the cause of his madness (2.2.240). Hamlet, however, respected the two for doing what they had to do and answered with a crafty
