Comparison of Prince Hamlet as a character in play and film
In the play, Prince Hamlet’s story is very depressing as people die and some betrayed. For instance, the uncle of Hamlet killed his father and married his mother. This emotion of sympathy can easily be felt in the play unlike in the movie, where the emotion is not shown. In the play, Prince Hamlet character is depicted as not being that crazy, but in the movie, it is over exaggerated and seen as if he is acting too crazy. In the play, Hamlet is depicted as a young person who was hurting as well as depressed. While in the movie, it was depicted as being arrogant. It is also seen in the movie that Hamlet was indeed following his father’s orders even though in the play he was not.
