Perspective and meaning in works: The study of Hamlet also provides the class with an opportunity to see how perspective shapes a work. Shakespeare's Christian-Protestant values of that time obviously shaped much of the play's conflict, from Gertrude's remarriage to Claudius to ideas about life after death. As a literary analyst, these examples of perspective are important. They are the key in pointing to meaning.
To help our understanding of this, we've watched the play-- many different versions of the play. This helps us in our understanding of what different directors hope to accomplish according to their perspectives and how they want to shape the meaning.
