The interpretation that is best is the, Kenneth Branagh. The interpretation the acting company is trying to convey is a very dramatic staging by making the Mousetrap a very public play to the people from Denmark. The company wants to include the people from Denmark so they could witness the indirect accusations from Hamlet to King Claudius about his father’s death and his mother’s marriage. They convey an interpretation in which what is said by Hamlet is not private, but heard by the audience. They also display reactions from the audience.
“To be or not to be, that is the question.” This line is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous, and it comes from Hamlet, specifically from scene 3.1. In this scene, Prince Hamlet gives an impassioned soliloquy on the meaning of life and contemplates suicide. He then encounters his lover Ophelia, who tries to renounce her feelings for him as a part of a scheme created by King Claudius to uncover the motives behind Hamlet’s odd behavior. Hamlet soon realizes this plot and bursts into a fit of rage against Ophelia, exhibiting his ‘insanity’ for everyone to see.
Hamlet has one goal in mind and everything he does is to advance this goal. Sometimes it comes across that he is simply losing his mind but later on we see that it was a part of his plan the whole time. No matter what happens to Hamlet it does not change
A Search for Stability Does the era in which a play or book was written really matter? Nowadays, many students and even adults, argue that there is no benefit behind studying publications dating back to the mid-1500s, because life during the time they were written, is nothing as they know it. However, if life was so different at the time the pieces were different, then what make pieces such as Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet so popular? The reason why certain pieces continue to be popular and so frequently studied, hundreds of years after they were written, is due to the presence of timeless themes that carry over centuries.
At the beginning of the play, he struggles with whether, and how, to avenge the murder of his father, and struggles with his own sanity along the way.

Main Argument and Thesis The main point of the article is literature is open to interpretation and that different experiences can affect the way a group understands a situation. Supporting Evidence The author, Laura Bohannan, supports the main argument through citing dialogue throughout the article that allows the reader to understand Bohannan’s experience. Bohannan shares the frequent interruptions she faces, as well as the final words the elders speak, “We, who are elders, will instruct you on their true meaning, so that when you return to your own land your elders will see… who have taught you wisdom” (Bohannan 12).
Hamlet focuses on the complications arising from love, death, and betrayal, without offering the audience a decisive and positive resolution to these complications. This is due in part to the simple fact that for Hamlet, there can be no definitive answers to life's most daunting questions. Indeed, Hamlet's world is one of perpetual ambiguity. Shakespeare's Hamlet, in my mind is a problem play because that is what it was initially meant to be in the 19th century.
In the play Hamlet, Shakespeare attempted to manifest the emotions often connected with the uneas iness of living for the unknowable future. Most can agree that the world is a troubling place, not to mention the personal faults each of us must bear. The vocabulary and interactions between the characters and the inner turmoil experienced by the archetypical Hamlet reflect both the societal bounds of Shakespeare’s time and the metaphysical struggles that dominate our l ives. Though Shakespeare wrote of th ese dynamic s especially well, he would not be the last to capture the attitude portrayed by the younger Hamlet.
In the beginning of the scene, Hamlet says a rat a rat and kills Polonius from behind the tapestry. Claudius feels that Hamlet may be a threat to him so he decides to sent him to England at once for his protection. He immediately summons Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to the palace and tells them that Hamlet killed Polonius. He also tells them to find Hamlet and to bring the corpse to the chapel for a proper state funeral. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern find Hamlet and ask him where the body is.
From suicidal to a longing for life, Hamlet’s perspective of death has changed dramatically throughout the play. In act five he, with such equanimity, finally accepts his inability to control the inevitable, for him it is best to be ready for death at anytime. The reader gets a glimpse of Hamlet’s new world view when he states “ There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.” His belief in a divine force controlling everything has stopped him from analyzing every decision he makes. Emotionally, he is prepared for death, knowing it will come when God wants it to come, not Laertes, or Claudius.

In the play Hamlet Shakespeare stated that actors as well as theatre are “the abstract and brief chronicles of the time” (II.ii.459). this is because often times authors will go and write plays regarding what they know about the things around them in their life. With this being said Vladimir Mayakovsky once said “Theatre is not a mirror to life; it is a magnifying glass.” Throughout the second half of the semester we sampled various theatrical plays that reflect their society of time and place, and they even are able to reflect concerns of today’s modern society.
“Hamlet” and the Magic of The Globe Theatre Through the Eyes of a Commoner On the way to the theatre, we cross the Thames by London Bridge, with its numerous shops and swarming stands.

Through the entirety of the play “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare, the characters were overcome with the need for revenge as the outcome of many deaths. Therefore, no one was happy through “Hamlet” and it resulted in a tragedy. The character Hamlet played a big role in turning towards revenge and never would classify himself as being happy. Hamlet displays positive and negative behavior throughout the play. Hamlet exhibits strengths and weaknesses as well, although his weaknesses of over-thinking, bitterness, and his inability to accept the death of his father overshadow his strengths.
The play within a play in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” Act III, Scene II is a literary device used to give a twist to the plot, and create suspense. However, in a closer examination it is also an early example of a metaplay employed by Shakespeare in order to engage the audience with more complex notions, such as the idea of reality and deception. Hamlet is determined to avenge for the death of his father and fulfill the request of his father’s Ghost. But uncertainty and indecision prevent Hamlet from acting spontaneously.
