Hamlet is undoubtedly the most celebrated of all of Shakespeare's plays. Its depth and profundity is only rivalled by King Lear. Not only has it produced various responses in other forms of high culture, it has also frequently been turned into film and even, more recently, into comic books. The seminar will create a general understanding of the Shakespearean text and, in addition, risk side glances at film and comics. Students are requested to purchase the following edition of the play: Hamlet, The Arden Shakespeare (Third), Ed. Ann Thompson et al., 2005. |
