Write about four full pages.  The paper should basically be partly an analysis of Hamlet and partly a comparison of Hamlet with some of other character you are familiar with, who shares similar traits or shares a similar situation, basically, one in which there are many questions as to what is the right thing to do.

The intro should state who you will compare Hamlet with and what story or film or novel or poem does this character appear in.  The next part of the paper should be your answers to the nine questions listed in the assignment.  In your final section, make your comparisons, and in your conclusion, evaluate the actions, behavior and character of each, as well as the themes represented by each.

Don't forget a title page and a reference page.  Don't forget headers. The reference page should only include the information as to the edition of Hamlet you read and the information about the source you are using for your comparison.  Otherwise, do not use outside sources.

 

Format:

 

1)      Introduction: 

In introduction explore the character of Hamlet and compare Hamlet’s dilemma (his persona, to borrow a term from poetics) to a modern character from film. And write detail about hamlet in simple word.

 

2)      Then give whole question answer. Read the below instruction proper and go in proper way.

Drama Connections

The Greeks established many of the bones of storytelling, but Shakespeare takes drama to a new height. Although we may find Shakespearean language distant and difficult to our modern ear, the character of Hamlet is absolutely modern. The play is a revenge tragedy, and just as the Greeks identified hubris as “missing the mark” in a character, Hamlet’s character is similarly flawed.

A significant failing in both Greek and Elizabethan drama is the hero’s individual pride and ego, which causes him or her to pursue selfishly motivated goals at the expense of the needs of the society. 

 

 

In a well-crafted essay of four to five pages, explore the character of Hamlet and compare Hamlet’s dilemma (his persona, to borrow a term from poetics) to a modern character from film.

1.      What is Hamlet’s flaw? 

2.      Why does he miss the mark? 

3.      What moral issues does Shakespeare explore? 

4.      What is the role of revenge in Elizabethan society?

5.      What is the role of revenge in modern society? 

6.      What happens when the individual pursues selfish goals at the expense of society? (T. S. Eliot's "Hamlet and his problems" is easily found on the Internet and will help you formulate your own point of view.)
