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.

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.

Passion, romance, drama, humor, and tragedy intertwine in this compulsively readable Hamlet retelling, from the perspective of a strong-willed, modern-day Ophelia. Meet Ophelia, high school senior, daughter of the Danish king's most trusted adviser, and longtime girlfriend of Prince Hamlet of Denmark. She lives a glamorous life and has a royal social circle, and her beautiful face is splashed across magazines and television screens. But it comes with a price--her life is ruled not only by Hamlet's fame and his overbearing royal family but also by the paparazzi who hound them wherever they go. After the sudden and suspicious death of his father, the king, the devastatingly handsome Hamlet spirals dangerously toward madness, and Ophelia finds herself torn, with no one to turn to. All Ophelia wants is to live a normal life. But when you date a prince, you have to play your part. Ophelia rides out this crazy roller coaster life, and lives to tell her story in live television interviews.

Ophelia lives to tell the tale of what happened at Elsinore "The nights at Elsinore are longer than anywhere else. I have stayed awake these many weeks, which has aided me greatly in my portrayal of one who has gone daft. For my skin is pale as fresh daisy petals, and my eyes sink inward, rimmed by bruise-like swells of purple. The servants and courtiers whisper that surely, Ophelia . . . most beautified Ophelia . . . has lost touch." It isn't easy dating a prince, especially when that prince is Hamlet. It could easily drive a young girl to madness, or so it would seem. Since the death of his father, Ophelia's beloved Hamlet has descended into a deep depression. To make matters worse, the Danish court is filled with lies and deceit. Was Hamlet's father murdered by King Claudius? Is Polonius truly the father of Laertes? Who can be trusted as a friend? And who is to be feared as an enemy? It is up to clever Ophelia, with the help of her friends, to find a way to save her prince and herself. Only then can she finally reveal the truth about what really happened in the famed castle at Elsinore. With Shakespeare's classic play as a frame, Lisa Fiedler gives voice to Ophelia in a gripping novel full of romance, ghosts, and a touch of alchemy.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...her built-up hope is dashed. 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...

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.
