Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, Free University of Berlin (Englische Philologie / Filmwissenschaften), language: English, abstract: Shakespeare's Hamlet, "the Mona Lisa of literature", features a supernatural element that launches the tragedy: the ghost of Denmark's murdered king. Ever since the play was staged, the Ghost's true nature and his function in the play have been much discussed issues. Obviously, the playwright used people's uncertainty about the ghost-lore of his time to deliver a play that remains opaque until today. Film makers like Zeffirelli, Olivier and Kozintsev have dealt with the Ghost's identity in different ways and show the essential position of it within the play. One created an abusive father who comes back to seek revenge. The other one presents a rather political reading of the Ghost. In the 3rd movie under investigation the Ghost conveys the message that family values must be remembered in order to maintain a society. This paper analyses the different views, theological and philosophical ones, and provides more than 30 bibliographical sources for further reading and research.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Seminar für Anglistik), course: Hamlet: Text, Context, Criticism, language: English, abstract: In his lifespan William Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets. However, there is one play by William Shakespeare that is considered special by many people. It is his longest and most complex play. "Hamlet" is a play that still is very much read and performed. Additionally it was made into feature films many times and still seems to entertain audiences around the world. There are other plays that seem to 'return' every couple years, when they are made into a movie or are once again performed on stage, but somehow people seem to react to "Hamlet" in a special way. These reactions raise the thought that the whole play seems to have something timeless and special about it. In this text, the author takes a look at three different interpretations of the play that were done on film: the "Hamlet" of 1990, of 1996 and of 2000 and compares the similarities and differences of these depictions.

Shakespeare is now enjoying perhaps his most glorious--certainly his most popular--filmic incarnation. Indeed, the Bard has been splashed across the big screen to great effect in recent adaptations of Hamlet, Henry V, Othello, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and of course in the hugely successful Shakespeare in Love. Unlike previous studies of Shakespeare's cinematic history, Shakespeare in the Movies proceeds chronologically, in the order that plays were written, allowing the reader to trace the development of Shakespeare as an author--and an auteur--and to see how the changing cultural climate of the Elizabethans flowered into film centuries later. Prolific film writer Douglas Brode provides historical background, production details, contemporary critical reactions, and his own incisive analysis, covering everything from the acting of Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, and Gwyneth Paltrow, to the direction of Orson Welles, Kenneth Branagh, and others. Brode also considers the many films which, though not strict adaptations, contain significant Shakespearean content, such as West Side Story and Kurosawa's Ran and Throne of Blood. Nor does Brode ignore the ignoble treatment the master has sometimes received. We learn, for instance, that the 1929 version of The Taming of the Shrew (which featured the eyebrow-raising writing credit: "By William Shakespeare, with additional dialogue by Sam Taylor"), opens not so trippingly on the tongue--PETRUCHIO: "Howdy Kate." KATE: "Katherine to you, mug." For anyone wishing to cast a backward glance over the poet's film career and to better understand his current big-screen popularity, Shakespeare in the Movies is a delightful and definitive guide.

'?what is this quintessence of dust?In Shakespeare's most famous play, a young prince, alienated and betrayed, struggles to make a decision; in a court where every friend is a spy, and every loving act somehow leads to murder, the sanest person is he who pretends to be mad. A brilliantly controlled plot, complex and convincing characters, and, above all, wonderful poetry have won Hamlet a deserved place as Shakespeare's most popular and frequently-performed play. Any young person who has been deceived or disappointed by an adult has been the young prince; anyone who has ever felt alone in the modern world has wandered the castle at Elsinore. Thus Hamlet, who asks, ?Why am I here? is a hero for our times, as well as his own. To make Hamlet more accessible for the modern reader, our Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary of the more difficult words, as well as convenient sidebar notes to enlighten the reader on aspects that may be confusing or overlooked. In doing this, it is our intention that the reader may more fully enjoy the beauty of the verse, the wisdom of the insights, and the impact of the play.

Adaptations of Shakespeare's plays have a long and wide-ranging history. For over four hundred years, there have been many theatrical versions that have, more or less, followed the written "text" of the play using various venues, settings, and casts. Beyond the stage, there are novelizations and children's stories, paintings and photographic tableaux, radio plays, and symphonies and operas all inspired by Shakespeare's works. More to the point of this dissertation, filmmakers are especially fascinated with the works of Shakespeare. As long as there have been movies, there have been Shakespearean--loose, traditional, or far from traditional--film adaptations all over the world. Even television has been no stranger to Shakespeare with its filmed stage productions, adapted films versions, themed episodes, or entire seasons based on the plays. Scholarship treats just about every example mentioned above; however, I am interested in how filmed adaptations of Shakespeare's plays, beginning with Laurence Olivier's 1948 version of Hamlet, exhibit a unique tension in the ways they mix innovation with preservation that can exert influence over subsequent versions and affect our understanding and enjoyment of the play. In other words, this dissertation investigates how adaptations of Shakespeare's plays both embrace and resist alteration of their "original" source, in this case Olivier foundational Hamlet film--seeking sometimes to change the material yet wanting to return to or preserve some authentic founding "text" just as often. This dissertation argues that filmed adaptations of Shakespeare's plays demonstrate the tension between tradition and innovation specifically because film as a medium asks different questions of the plays. For example, film emphasizes a type of "realism" that is different from theatrical illusion while also often elevating technological spectacle over language. Furthermore, film's conventional running times also affect the plays' structure, sometimes causing substantial cuts to the text. I contend that we can find similar traditional versus modern tension in most adaptations of Shakespeare's plays; however, his most filmed play, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark will be the exclusive focus of my dissertation.

Film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays are increasingly popular and now figure prominently in the study of his work and its reception. This lively Companion is a collection of critical and historical essays on the films adapted from, and inspired by, Shakespeare's plays. An international team of leading scholars discuss Shakespearean films from a variety of perspectives: as works of art in their own right; as products of the international movie industry; in terms of cinematic and theatrical genres; and as the work of particular directors from Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles to Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh. They also consider specific issues such as the portrayal of Shakespeare's women and the supernatural. The emphasis is on feature films for cinema, rather than television, with strong coverage of Hamlet, Richard III, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. A guide to further reading and a useful filmography are also provided.
