Class Notes 11/29 - 12/10

During this week, we watched several film versions of Hamlet.  I was absent in class for the Branagh version, but the BBC version focussed on the strange relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude and dipicted it as perhaps incestual.  The Lawrence version seemed to insinuate that Hamlet was gay.  This, and the forum we did on "Shakespeare in the Bush" all emphasized the fact that Shakespeare (and literature in general) is subjective and can be interpreted in many ways.  We discussed whether or not it is all universal.

    I would like to see some information on Theater of the Absurd and Existentialism, as well.
