Hamlet Explored

About Hamlet.

"Hamlet" tells the sad tale of a prince who falls into depression after the death of his father. His mother gets married to Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, only two months after the funeral. Hamlet begins to suspect that his father was murdered and starts to plan his revenge. Add in mistreated girlfriends, ghosts, duels, suicide and poison and you have one of Shakespeare's finest tragedies.

Hamlet: What Will I Study?

Studying a Shakespeare play for GCSE English Literature usually means completing coursework essays and sitting an exam. In the exam you'll have to respond to questions based on one or two extracts from the play. Although the extracts mean you don't have to learn the play by heart, to score high marks you'll need to know the whole story and characters well. Questions often ask you to write about why a character is behaving as they are, and how an audience might respond to this.


GCSE English Literature usually means that you'll get to watch film or TV versions of the play. You'll have to compare how different directors have chosen to show the story of Hamlet. Many great actors have played the role - Laurence Olivier, Kenneth Branagh and even Mel Gibson, so there are lots of versions to choose from. Unfortunately the 2008 film "Hamlet the Vampire Slayer" probably won't be on your syllabus!

Hamlet... What Comes Next?

If you've enjoyed "Hamlet" there are lots more Shakespeare plays you could study. A Level English Literature should cover at least one more, and you could choose to go on to an English literature degree at university. Shakespeare's plays are performed in theatres worldwide and are available on film if you want to see more.

Recent Reviews of Hamlet Essays

What our users think of the Hamlet essays in this section:

"Explain the quotes, what they mean... use PEE (Point, Evidence, Explaination)"
nshahid
"Whilst you include many key quotes, the structure of this essay causes it to lose serious marks. Rather than explaining why and why you do not feel sorry for Hamlet, you have instead chosen to re-tell the story; due to the lack of your own opinion and language analysis many marks are lost. You have chosen to add a small conclusion at the end, and do not at any point refer to the opposing side of the argument. For example, it can be argued that losing Ophelia was Hamlet's fault for not confining in her and instead choosing to throw away their love. As opposed from structuring your essay chronologically, I would suggest you write it based on your argument (for instance, split the first paragraphs into why you feel sympathy towards him, and the next why you do not.) This would be much clearer to the reader and would make your argument more presentable. There are also spelling errors which should be checked before submission. In order to attain a higher grade, I would suggest focusing more on your argument throughout the essay, and ensure that you are answering the question. TSR User: Kasphlam"
