  Hamlet 2
Hamlet's condemnation of it as "incest" is not, it seems, the general opinion of the court and Claudius himself confesses to Laertes that "As the star moves not but in his sphere..I could not but by her."
Hamlet, too reminds the audience twice how Gertrude behaved in the presence of his dead father, which serves to emphasise the fickleness she has shown since the King's death.
When Hamlet dies Horatio plans to die with him, intending to drink what is left of the poison wine, but Hamlet trusts his friend to be his dying voice and gives Horatio the task of telling the story of what happened and setting the record straight.

The story of Hamlet, the young Prince of Denmark, his tortured relationship with his mother, and his quest to avenge his father's murder at the hand of his brother Claudius has fascinated writers and audiences ever since it was written around 1600.
The madness of Hamlet is, I suppose, debatable; certainly, his madness is feigned early on, and I have much admiration for his manner of calling forth the guilty conscience of those who wronged his father through his supposed ravings, but one must particularly question his dealings with the lovely and innocent Ophelia.
Hamlet is not only the greatest of Shakespeare's plays but one of the greatest books in the English language; beautifully written, flawlessly structured, with a dozen deftly woven subplots all open to countless interpretation.

 RSP - Hamlet: the Tragedy of Apostasy?
Accordingly, when morality-obsessed Hamlet declares that nothing is inherently good or bad, we have strong evidence—as if it were needed—that he is deeply troubled; after all, not even a Prince could expect to get away with heresy in the 16th century.
Hamlet contemplates suicide, and meditates on the morality and meaning of death, at length, and the body count is nothing short of appalling: with the exception of Horatio, just about everyone who comes into contact with the Prince dies.
Here Hamlet reminds us that human credulity is extraordinarily elastic: even he could believe himself a god—a “king of infinite space”—despite such a ludicrous confinement, were it not for those nagging thoughts and intuitions (bad dreams) which alert him to his false beliefs.

Hamlet drew a dagger and hurled it in their direction, but it was aimed at the drape hanging to the left of the exit.
Hamlet and followers looked troubled, whilst Claudius danced triumphantly in a circle, goading the opposition camp and chanting "we are the champions, we are the champions", somewhat precipitately, but pressaging no doubt the likely outcome of the challenge, judging by Laertes enormous ejaculatory talent.

 Patrick DOYLE Hamlet : Film Music on the Web CD Reviews Nov 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Elsinor is portrayed as a place of gothic gloom and misery, and from the onset Hamlet, Prince of Denmark a tormented soul.
Elsewhere Doyle's central theme for Hamlet is a work of wondrous lyricism, capable of expressive pain, heroic nobility and many shades between, while a secondary theme for Ophelia has a simple, haunting loveliness, which captures the tragedy not just of a love denied, but a life sacrificed.
Hamlet continues through the titles, the song rightfully sorrowful for life lost so young and in the prime of love, yet rising to a heroic finale entirely in keeping with Branagh's vision, in which the final image is a statue of Hamlet being demolished and unceremoniously removed.

 Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Lecture on HAMLET
This character Shakspere places in circumstances, under which it is obliged to act on the spur of the moment :- Hamlet is brave and careless of death; but he vacillates from sensibility, and procrastinates from thought, and loses the power of action in the energy of resolve.
Here it is evident that the penetrating Hamlet perceives, from the strange and forced manner of Ophelia, that the sweet girl was not acting a part of her own, but was a decoy; and his after speeches are not so much directed to her as to the listeners and spies.
Hamlet's madness is made to consist in the free utterance of all the thoughts that had passed through his mind before;- in fact, in telling home-truths.

 Amazon.com: Hamlet: DVD: Kenneth Branagh,Richard Attenborough,David Blair,Brian Blessed,Richard Briers,Michael ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Branagh, more than any other Hamlet, makes us understand the distracted, anguished and tortured prince, and guides us to not only an appreciation of his actions, wild and crazy as they sometimes are, but to an identification and an understanding of why (the eternal query) Hamlet is so long in assuming the name of action.
One recalls that Jacobi played Hamlet in the only other full cinematic production of the play that I know of, produced in 1980 by the BBC with Claire Bloom as Gertrude; and he was an excellent Hamlet, although perhaps like Branagh something less than a massive presence.
In the bedroom scene with Hamlet she becomes transparent to not only her son, but to us all, and we feel that the camera is reaching into her soul.

 Hamlet on the Holodeck - Janet H. Murray
The Hamlet of the book's title is a character from a once-famous example of the centuries-old traditional narrative form, "drama".
Mass-participation in narrative has always been possible: while the printed narrative lends itself to a single voice, the oral tradition would be an obvious place for involving many people.
There is no obvious reason why a single story-teller tells a story, rather than everyone participating in the telling of the story -- unless, of course, the single person can do it far better than the masses.

 Amazon.co.uk: Hamlet [1948]: DVD: Jean Simmons,Laurence Olivier,Stanley Holloway,Anthony Quayle,Peter Cushing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Although I think this is an excellent version of Hamlet, Olivier's performance as the eponymous character is a tour de force, and the period setting and authentic Danish location are good to see in this age of Brechtian alienation, there is a gripe I'd like to share.
This edit of Hamlet leaves Olivier with the vast majority of the airtime, at the expense of all of the other characters.
Olivier's approach follows the still-predominant understanding of Hamlet as a wavering man, "who cannot make up his mind," as he says in the movie's prologue, which borrows from the passage "so oft it chances in particular men that, for some vicious mole of nature in them...

 Poundswick - the hamlet
To give an idea of where the farms were situated in relation to the current geography of the place, the north farm was located in the area between the eastern end of the current school building and the Simonsway / Poundswick Lane roundabout.
If this be true, the cottage was about four hundred years old when the school was built and so the last 43 years are but a twinkling of an eye in its history.
The school was the place that declared "here is Poundswick" but now that it has gone there are not many places where you can actually see the name in use.
