Thinking Activity :- Hamlet

1. How faithful is the movie to the original play?
Ans:- We are watching a movie I think that it is very faithful than original play. we see various themes in this movie like madness in Hamlet,Revenge,Morality and Aggressiveness.


2. After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?   
Ans:- The director of the movie wonderfully present the Themes, Plots, Characters and Scenes. we see that two different situation in many scenes..
Example:-
                     Begging of the movie we see that Claudius, Gertrude and All peoples are celebrated the wedding function but another side we see hamlet in Black cloth and he stand alone and he think that "Why my mother marry to my uncle?"


3.
Do you feel ‘Aesthetic Delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans:- Yes,I feel 'Aesthetic Delight' while Hamlet saw a ghost of his father and talk with him and we see Hamlet and Ophelia spend precious time together.


  4.Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?   
Ans :- Yes, I feel 'Catharsis' while Hamlet not think about revenge of his father death bu he saw a ghost of his father and told him about his death. now we see that Hamlet decide to take revenge of his father death,this decision create error of judgement and end of the movie Hamlet died so Hamlet's error of judgement responsible of his own death.


5.Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?

Ans :- Yes, Screening of Hamlet movie helps me to understand the themes,characters mind, characters behaviors and characters emotions. movie very helpful to understand character more than original play.

6.Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
Ans:- The beautiful and innocent character 'Ophelia' in the movie she did not raise her voice, I think she love Hamlet more than anyone but we see that accidentally Hamlet kill her father and she listened that hamlet kill her father. she did not take any decision and she did not understand the situation and at last we see that she is mad and committed suicide. Ophelia's character will cherish my whole lifetime.


7.If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’? 
Ans :- If I am directer of the movie of hamlet I want to change ophelia's character. in the movie Ophelia's character is so innocent,she love Hamlet more than anyone, she did not take any decision and she did not raise her voice. If I am directer i want Fearless,Strong, and Independent character of Ophelia.


8.In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this? (Clue: In Book IX of 'Paradise Lost', Satan reflects on his revenge motive: "But what will not ambition and revenge; Descend to? Who aspires must down as low; As high he soared, obnoxious, first or last, To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils." Is it not King Hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom which is symbolically pictured in last scenes?) 
Ans:- In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of king Hamlet out side Elsinore castle it is shows that The King Of Denmark is Hamlet and In the last we see that the soldiers of fortinbras broken down the Hamlet statue  it is show that the Rules Of King Hamlet is over and we says that without death of king Hamlet  plot not moved to next plot.

9.While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations. 
Ans:- I think psychological approach is more applicable to the play. Hamlet live a simple life before his father's death after his father death every time he think that Why My Mother Marry With My Uncle? and he saw ghost of his father and his father told him about his death so Hamlet know ever think about his mother and his uncle , now Hamlet decide to take revenge of his father's death. we see the another devil/evil side of Hamlet every time he think about revenge and he make plan 'How To Kill His Uncle' it is shows the madness of Hamlet.

10.Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons. 
Ans :- I found Feminist Approach more than others Approach because we see that male characters are more powerful that female characters. Ophelia did not take any decision against her father or brother and she did not raise her voice, her father and brother both are treat her like a DOLL.
             So I think Feminist Approach Appeals more than others.
