Examples Of Lenticular Images In Hamlet

For my final project, I have decided to create a lenticular image. This is described as images with the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. This connects to the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare because during the play we follow the idea of how different perspectives can change how one views a situation. One side of the lenticular image shows a photo of artwork by Piet Mondrian. Mondrian’s artwork is composed of many different-sized boxes. Some of the boxes are filled with different primary colors. This piece of artwork represents how Hamlet views himself and his plan. He believes that his plan is well thought out and calculated. In a conversation with Horatio, Hamlet says “But come; / Here, as before, never,

This quote shows that Hamlet has thought out his plan. He warns Horatio, someone he trusts, and tells him that every action no matter how crazy it may seem is well thought out and part of his plan.

The swirl of colors seems to come together in the middle which connects to how Claudius has finally realized why Hamlet has gone mad. Claudius watches a play that was put on by Hamlet where the plot follows that of his father’s murder. Claudius then admits to his guilt when saying “O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven; / It hath the primal eldest curse upon ’t, / A brother’s murder. Pray can I not, / Though inclination be as sharp as will: / My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent”(Shakespeare 3.3.36-41). This is when Claudius admits to killing his brother and admits that he feels guilty for it. He recognizes that he can not pray this away and that there is no good reason why someone would kill their brother. The messiness of the
