Act I Act II Act III Act IV Act V

Other Hamlet sites :

• Virginia Leong's Hamlet site has over 200 links to reviews, interviews, and articles about the Kenneth Branagh production.
  
• Harry Rusche's extensive assemblage of nineteenth-century paintings based on Hamlet, with commentary. Christine Rossi's smaller collection of artwork about Ophelia.
• MIT's discussion area for Hamlet.
• Hamlet: A Production Notebook for an imaginary production (with Branagh playing Rosencrantz and Nick Nolte as King Claudius).
• Toni Mandry's Hamlet: Prince of Denmark offers synopses, quotes, and a section about actors who've played the role.
• The emphasis in Kevin Clark's The Definitive Hamlet Page is upon actors in the various roles, and Ned Cantly's The Hamlet Page is all pictures of actors.
• The big website at Susquehannah University for Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead has disappeared, alas; but Michael Berry's page helps fill the gap.
• For educational sites, see A Short Course on Shakespeare's Hamlet and Much Ado About Hamlet. Introduction to Hamlet is designed by three University of Liège professors for those reading the play for the first time. The Falcon Shakespeare Resources page is half Hamlet, half Macbeth, and is primarily for high school students -- as is Ronald J. Wang's Hamlet page, which includes essay topics and a 20-question quiz.

Scholarly work :

• Computer-based analysis of recurring words, phrases, and motifs in Hamlet.
• David Basch's Shakespeare Stages Ecclesiastes asserts the presence of evidence in Hamlet that Shakespeare was Jewish.
• The Connotation series of debate articles about "The Last Moments of Hamlet": essays by John Russell Brown, Dieter Mehl, Maurice Charney, another by Brown, and Holder Klein.
• "Hamlet and His Problems", T. S. Eliot's famous essay from The Sacred Wood.
• Two essays by Joel Sommier Littauer, one on the central question of the play and another on the minor characters.
• Anthony M. Verboort's What Is the Question? argues that in the "To be..." soliloquy, Hamlet is speaking of Claudius's death instead of his own.
• In Certain Speculations on Hamlet, the Calendar, and Martin Luther, Steve Sohmer presents arguments for viewing the play as a Reformation document.
• Peter J. Leithar's The Serpent Now Wears the Crown: A Typological Reading of Hamlet traces biblical motifs in the play.
• Anny Crunelle-Vanrigh argues that Hamlet is a play of mourning for the loss of a mother in "'Too Much in the (Black) Sun': Hamlet's First Soliloquy, A Kristevan View".
• The Society for the Study of Hamlet has the text of the play, pointers to specific lines and scenes, and three essays: "A Study of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern", "Hamlet and Fortinbras", and "The Hamlet Paradigm".

Then there are those sites with a somewhat less-than-reverent approach :

• Harry Rusche's delightful piece about the Hamlet slither -- not to be missed.
• A little lesson in feminism for Ophelia.
• Shakespeare meets Dr. Seuss in Green Eggs and Hamlet -- a video for sale.
• And last, but by no means least, we have -- wait for it -- Hamlet in the original Klingon, the way God meant us to read it.
