Some Perspectives on Hamlet
Different Approaches to the Same Famous Character
Participants will first read and discuss the play. Then we will watch and critique several interpretations of one scene of the play. Finally, we’ll consider what insights Tom Stoppard’s Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead can offer a modern audience.
The texts include the Folger Library edition of Hamlet, and Stoppard’s Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Grove Press). We will discuss Act One of Hamlet at our first meeting. Ms. Scott was a lecturer in Classics and Great Books at U.M. and taught English literature at Community High School.
This study group for those 50 and over will met on Mondays and Wednesdays, 10-12, on October 22, October 24, October 29, October 31, November 5, November 7, November 12, and November 14.
