Clip 1: Fast forward as close as you can to 33:25 (in Chapter 5) and watch Patrick Stewart as the Ghost and David Tennant as Hamlet. End this scene after the re-appearance of Horatio and Marcellus (line 119 / 40:45). Note the difference in your text stage directions and David Tennant's actions at the end of the scene.
Clip 2: This Zeferelli version cuts much of the Ghost's speech. Does that change things?
In the comment section, please do just that. Comment on the two versions of The Ghost and Hamlet. Is the relationship between Hamlet and his father different? How do the edits change the scene? What about setting and costuming? Is the scene different to you now viewing it than it was reading it?
That's it for today. Your homework is to read the attached essay on the ghost's speech (1.5.34-40 and 59-88). You may print it out in order to annotate it. Be prepared to discuss Camille Paglia's essay.
