Shakespeare’s Hamlet / Comparing Play To Movie :
6 pages in length. The striking resemblance between William
Shakespeare's play Hamlet and the movie version starring
Kenneth Branagh have separated this particular film adaptation
apart from all others. Sir Laurence Olivier has been bestowed
accolades for his screen performance, and Mel Gibson's
rendition rendered him as an accomplished Shakespearean
actor; however, none but Branagh's Hamlet have proven to
possess the same intensity -- line for line -- that the original
maintained. The writer discusses the similarities between
Shakespeare's play and Branagh's movie. Bibliography lists 6

Melville’s “Moby Dick” vs. Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” :
A 6 page paper in which the writer argues that through mad antics
toward ‘the revenge plot,’ both Ahab and Hamlet serve to bring
the action in the two tragedies to their inevitable conclusions. In
all aspects the characters’ motivations are different. Ahab’s
madness is more focused and not within Ahab’s control--he is
unable to see beyond it. Hamlet’s madness is feigned. The
characters’ decision-making abilities are also in contrast to each
other, and their view of God, the Devil and responsibility to
same also come from a divergent slant on the moralistic ideals
behind their given situations. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
