After watching Branagh’s Discovering Hamlet I felt intrigued at the analysis that was conducted towards Claudius. The actor that was chosen to represent him describes him a s the “antagonist”, which is the obvious, and common interpretation. He then goes on o mention that Hamlet describes Claudius as a fat, and despicable man. Interpretation varies between each production and this one decided that Claudius was a “charming, sexy, easy man”. It proves that Hamlets real beauty lies in the different interpretations. The play gave the world a great starting point from whereto build on. All of these interpretations are very interesting, and most importantly, very different.
