Understanding Hamlet - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Understanding Hamlet provides a detailed analysis of the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. This analysis begins with the principle that all aspects of a play, including character and theme, are secondary to, and must be understood within, the sequence of events in the play itself. The sequence of events is taken as the primary means of understanding the playwright's intentions, and it brings us closest to the experience that we have when we watch a theatrical performance, which is the play's proper vehicle and setting. Inevitably this analysis leads to a review and reconsideration of some of the popular beliefs about the play and its meaning.
