Hamlet-Kenneth Branagh










    • How faithful is the movie to the original play?
      •  Movie is faithful to origin play because most of dialogues of origin play are same in the movie. 

    • ·         After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?
    Yes,my perception changed one point is that in this movie Gertrude is very happy but in the book Gertrude is not happy.
    • ·         Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?
    Yes,when Hamlet was died and his words were gave me aesthetic delight "The rest is Silence".It was gave me aesthetic delight.
    • ·         Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?
    Yes,I feel "Catharsis" in this play when claudius is become a king and his mother married with cluadius within couple of days  his father's death.
    • ·         Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?
    Yes, because visual memory is strongest memory so if you want better understanding for the play then I prefer movie.
    • ·         Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
     One moment is cherish lifetime for me when Gertrude drink poisoned and that time Claudius tell to Gertrude that "Do not drink". It's cherish moment for me.
    • ·         If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?
    If I am director so first of all I want to change last scene to create happy ending and Hamlet marry to Ophelia and Gertrude do not drink Poison.
    • In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this? (Clue: In Book IX of 'Paradise Lost', Satan reflects on his revenge motive:       "But what will not ambition and revenge; Descend to? Who aspires must down as low; As high he soared, obnoxious, first or last, To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils." Is it not King Hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom which is symbolically pictured in last scenes?)
    In the beginning  of the movie camera rolls over the statue of king Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle and end with similar sequence this scene symbolize the cycle life and death.
    • While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations.
    I think psychological approach is more applicable for the play because Hamlet fight with own self.
    • Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons.
    I like feminist approach because in this play Gertrude and Ophelia are victim of men and just sex object for men.

    Linguistics and Language

    UNIT 1: LINGUISTICS A) The Nature of Language Language is the fundamental instrument of human communication, thought, and culture. At a postgraduate level, language is defined not merely as a set of words, but as a dynamic, rule-governed system of arbitrary vocal symbols used by humans to interact, express identity, and transmit knowledge across generations. Core Characteristics of Human Language To understand the nature of language, modern linguistics identifies key properties (often referred to as Hockett’s Design Features ) that separate human language from animal communication systems: 1. Arbitrariness There is no natural, logical, or intrinsic connection between a linguistic sign (the word) and the real-world object or concept it represents (the referent). For instance, the physical domestic canine animal is called dog in English, chien in French, perro in Spanish, and kutta in Hindi. None of these sound combinations has an inherent "dog-like" quality; the ...

    Literary Research

    Literary Research: Foundations, Methods, and Mechanics Unit 1: Fundamentals of Literary Research A) What is Literary Research? At the postgraduate and professional level, literary research transitions from intuitive reading, subjective appreciation, or classroom commentary (explication de texte) into an organized, evidence-based inquiry. It is a systematic investigation into the conditions under which literary texts are created, transmitted, interpreted, and institutionalized. Unlike the natural sciences, which rely primarily on empirical experimentation, literary research relies on textual, historical, contextual, and theoretical evidence to advance original arguments. Literary research operates across three primary methodological domains: 1. Empirical & Material Research This domain focuses on the physical, archival, and historical realities of literary artifacts. It encompasses:  * Textual Scholarship & Descriptive Bibliography: Analyzing the physical codex, paper compos...
