- Considers the place of the supernatural in a revenge drama; the strained atmosphere in the Danish court; Hamlet’s sense of a polluted and restricted environment; Polonius’ behaviour as father and counsellor; Ophelia’s madness; the death of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Shows how Shakespeare encourages his audience both to identify with the feelings of the various characters and to judge their actions from a detached position.
