Many interpretations of Hamlet exist, from long to short, from serious to humorous, and each calls attention to different aspects of the work. Watch this one-minute video, which has a decidedly comic tone. Describe what elements of the play the video captures, as well as the ones it omits.

Respuesta :

Answer:

This video presents only the most important points in the plot:

the appearance of Hamlet's father's ghost

Claudius's efforts to determine the cause of Hamlet's strange behavior

Hamlet's soliloquy

Hamlet's rudeness to Ophelia, which leaves her heart-broken

the staging of the play, after which Hamlet is certain of Claudius's guilt

the scene in which Hamlet loses an opportunity to kill Claudius

the scene in which Hamlet rebukes his mother and then accidentally kills Polonius

Claudius's plan to kill Hamlet, which he shares with Laertes

the scene in the graveyard, in which Hamlet holds Yorick's skull

the scuffle between Laertes and Hamlet when Ophelia is buried

the duel between Laertes and Hamlet, followed by Gertrude's death, Hamlet's killing of Claudius, and Hamlet's death

The quick succession of events in this video seems to suggest that the sequence of events in the play is rather unlikely.

The major themes of the play, such as appearance versus reality, moral corruption, the complexity of action, and the mystery of death are not evident in this adaptation. Other important aspects of the play that the video does not address are the question of Hamlet's madness, his internal conflict, and his inaction. The video ignores characterization in Hamlet and the treatment of philosophical ideas throughout the play.
