Why did literary critic Frank Kermode call Hamlet the greatest tragedy written in 2500 years? How is this play a culmination of everything we’ve seen in Shakespeare over this course? And how is it completely different?
These are some of the questions we’ll be answering as we kick off our very first lesson on the great Hamlet. And, most of all, we’ll begin to answer why this play is the perfect way to end off our course on Shakespeare and the Individual.
We’ll look at: • Hamlet as an individual 🙋🏼♂️ • The role of the feminine in Hamlet 💃🏼 • The roles of playing and acting in Hamlet 🎭 • The role of revelation in Hamlet 📜
