Shakespeare adaptations

Moving Patrick's comment here:
I find this film adaptation of Hamlet to be rather interesting. It was made in 2000 with Ethan Hawke playing Hamlet. Heres a short clip to give you an idea of its... differences if you will.

The way the framing is done in this scene brings to mind what Kirsten was talking about in lecture about the framing in little women.

Welcome!

This is our space for posting (1) any further thoughts left over from lecture/section conversations, and (2) what we notice about adaptations and "cultural borrowings." We'll try to organize comments into logical groupings.
