Hamlet & Personal Interpretation? (1 Viewer)

[davox]

So, for this module we are asked to establish our own personal interpretation?
I am having extreme difficulty doing this module.
I have only got, 'Hamlets overthinking was due to the contextual influence; the renaissance, and his delay of action is on purpose due to this'

Any ideas?

Religion
Revenge
Feigned Love
Feigned Madness

They are some themes you could use but the idea is 'your own' personal response so you will need to take those themes and establish your own argument around them.

Oh okay.
So i use the themes to establish my own interpretation?

thanks.

Well, keep in mind that you need to ground the reading in your own context, and yeah i guess you can do that through themes that are still relevant. Unless of course you're arguing that hamlet is irrelevant now, and that we can't relate because hamlet's actions were due to the renaissance and aren't credible now.

what ideas do you think hamlet explores? e.g. human ethics/mortality/ fragility of the human soul?

Try to base your interpretation on other critical readings that you find. There is no way you will come up with a completely new interpretation, so stick to the established facts and work from there.
