.... but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Hamlet was unaware of anything that had been going on in his home until he returned from school. Once he arrived at what he thought would be the comfort of his family, he was given the news that his beloved father had died and his mother married his uncle weeks after. This discovery, along with everyone else’s ability to recover from the shock and grief so quickly, spoiled any sanity that Hamlet might have had before the great tragedy took place.

.... and negative images of women, reinscription and subversion of patriarchal ideologies. The tension between the film’s uses of narrative and image works to interrogate and problematize both feminist and antifeminist assumptions about gender, power, and subjectivity. In Alice Doesn’t Teresa de Lauretis claims that Feminist film theory has gone well beyond the simple opposition of positive and negative images, and has indeed displaced the very terms of that opposition to a sustained critical attention to the hidden work of the apparatus.

The Christians portrayal was just as bad as the Jewish man, Shylock's por .....

.... plot and setting to create a mood of disgust and a theme of proper revenge, as opposed to fear and pity, hence Aristotle would have disapproved of Hamlet. It is the above mentioned elements; character, plot and setting, used in a non-Aristotelian way, that makes Hamlet work as a one of the English language's most renown tragedies.
