Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Hamlet and Ophelia It is possible to form a conception of an intelligent, intellectual, educated man to whom the Tragedy of Hamlet is unknown, to whom the name Hamlet conveys no idea; and until a critic places himself in the condition of impartiality and lack of prejudice in which this imaginary man would be, he is not perfectly fitted to judge of Shakespeare's greatest play. The conceptions and misconceptions imposed on him by actors and commentators must warp his judgment and control his understanding. It is asserted that Hamlet is a study for the closet, rather than a drama to be presented on the stage; and the authority for the assertion is the play itself, with its difficulties of stage interpretation. True it is, that our imaginary man, who had never heard of the Tragedy, would conclude that Booth's, or Barrett's, or Irving's, or Fechter's adaptation is not a coherent, self-explanatory dramatic work; its presentation would seem to him only a series of scarcely connected tableaux vivants, with fragments of descriptive dialogue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Ophelia: And Other Studies of Shakespeare's Women The actresses who have succeeded in the part have done so sheerly by means of their own delightful personalities. They looked so beautiful, moved so gracefully, spoke in such sweet tones and wept with such pathos. But they would have been exactly the same had they been playing a sympathetic village idiot, weeping over a dead canary! One wonders who was the originator of the traditional nonentity. Some delightful beauty, maybe, whose rendering has seemingly been left unquestioned. It is strange that in the struggle for origin ality no one has ever attempted to play the character as Shakespeare - or Bacon - has created it; with business entirely in keep ing with the text, and in an atmosphere of sequential thought and feeling. If one did attempt it, she was too insignificant to have succeeded in making any impression officially, beyond perhaps gaining the reputation in the company of being a crank.

She lives a glamorous life and has a royal social circle, and her beautiful face is splashed across magazines and television screens.

She is told that Hamlet has shown no love for Ophelia! And, moreover, he has shown himself more erratic, savagely sarcastic and generally outrageous than ever. Already it is considered necessary for everybody to humour him, and her heart is full of fear, for the ugly murmur "madness" is now about everywhere. She refuses to lend an ear to it; he is griefdistracted, but no more. Her distress over Hamlet's health has of late absorbed her mind to the exclusion of any direct scruples of conscience. The King is her support and her comfort; in her distress she would be utterly lost without him; he is so patient with Hamlet, and with her grief, that she is devotedly appreciative of his love. However, she knows that Hamlet has arranged an entertainment for that evening, and has requested their presence. To her, it seems a good sign that he should busy himself with any pastime, and she doubtless builds more hopes on it. As he has constantly avoided her as well as Claudius since he yielded to her persuasion to remain in Denmark (would that he had not!), the fact that he has requested their presence seems of itself to imply conciliation. Therefore she dons her fairest gown, and looks, as she enters the great hall, more like her former cheerful self than she has done for many a day. As the Court group themselves in readiness for the performance (Act III., scene 2), Gertrude, who has been waiting to meet Hamlet's eye, does so, and ask him sweetly to--"Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me." But that, with the aim he has in view, is impossible! "No, good mother," he replies tersely. Then, turning, he perceives Ophelia, and adds: "Here's metal more attractive!" and, seating himself at...

Download or read book Revolutionary Theater and the Classical Heritage written by Michael David Richardson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the work of three prominent proletarian-revolutionary dramatists at the end of the Weimar Republic. The work of Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Wolf, and Gustav von Wangenheim is looked at against the backdrop of debates among Marxist intellectuals and artists. Through a discussion of theatrical theory and close readings of individual plays, this work examines the authors' unique aesthetics and their enactment of a critical appropriation of the German literary heritage. It also investigates their attempts to transform the audience's relationship to the theatrical production from a passive-receptive to an active-critical one. This volume offers insights into larger questions of political and cultural continuity that characterized the Weimar and the postwar periods.
