Hamlet

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright who is considered one of the greatest writers to ever use the English language. He is also the most famous playwright in the world, with his plays being translated in over 50 languages and performed across the globe for audiences of all ages. His works span tragedy, comedy, and historical works, both in poetry and prose. And although the man is the most-recognized playwright in the world, very little of his life is actually known. No known autobiographical letters or diaries have survived to modern day, and with no surviving descendants, Shakespeare is a figure both of magnificent genius and mystery. This has led to many interpretations of his life and works, creating a legend out of the commoner from Stratford-upon-Avon who rose to prominence and in the process wrote many of the seminal works that provide the foundation for the current English language. His notable work is

“Hamlet”
“The Taming of the Shrew”
“Henry IV, Part 1”
“The Merry Wives of Windsor”
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
“Richard III”
First Folio
“Macbeth”
“King John”
“The Merchant of Venice”etc.

Hamlet is the world famous revenge play. Most of film industries try to making film plot of a Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh is a director, who tried to make film as well as hamlet its full based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

• The movie is faithful in terms of the soliloquy and the dialogues spoken by the characters in the play. The main incidents like the madness of Ophelia, grave digging scene etc are very well shown in the film as similar to the way it is described in the original play, But there are many things in the movie which is different from the original play in terms of costumes, customs. Even in the film hamlet is portrayed as too old than the real Prince Hamlet in the play who is very young. there are many changes made in this film. The presence of ghost is shown by the movement of the sword of the statue whereas in the play the text is unable to show it dramatic movement.Even the falling of the statue at the end is also indicates a big change. So after watching the film my perception about the play, character and the situation is totally changed.
• In the film the players came to enact on stage as per the instructions and some dialogues given by Hamlet.When they are performing the incident which relates to the life of Claudius, Gertrude and King Hamlet, both the husband and wife that is Claudius and Gertrude became fearful and Claudius leaves that place immediately.
• Yes, I feel catharsis in the film when Ophelia gone mad. and the scene of Grave yard, hamlet saw Yoric's skull.

• Yes the screening of the movie helps me a lot in better understanding of the play. because there were many character i understood to his relationship to another like Fortinbras, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern.
