There is so many songs, movies, and other piece of work that can be connected to themes from Hamlet because the story Hamlet has so many themes and i think everyone can easily connect them to other piece of literature. There's a movie I watched few years ago, its called 8 mile. Its about Eminem who struggle with his life, he wants to make the most of what could be his final opportunity but his problems around gives him doubts. His friend Wink, had sex with his girl. Wink also hangout with Free world, its a bunch of people that beaten up Eminem after he broke Wink's nose while having sex with his girl. Eminem then wanted to revenge by joining the rap battle in his neighborhood Detroit, and he won the battle.

The one that automatically pops up in my head is Count of Monte Cristo. Dantes's father was killed and his life was taken away by him and he goes on a quest to avenge his father's death and get pay back from anyone who's wronged him. Except it's actually really different because Dantes's plan is very long and elaborate but Hamlet's was kind of a mess that really didn't accomplish anything.

Hamlet is all about madness and how the person himself and other people deal with it. In this play, Shakespeare described two types of madness, the first one from Hamlet, and the other one from Ophelia. This could be closely connected to the poem of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. In "The Raven," a man becomes mad and starts imagining things, which were not supposed to happen. Similarly, Hamlet fakes his madness but becomes mad for real at certain points and even admits it.

The movie Man in the Iron Mask can be connected with Hamlet because both are about revenge. The movie is like the after-story of Three Musketeers and is set in France under the cruel king Louis. One musketeer has a son Raoul who is engaged with Christine, but Louis sends Raoul to a battlefield to seduce Christine. When Raoul dies, his father angrily seeks vengeance and later gathers other old musketeers to overthrow the king. In the end, they replace Louis with his twin brother who has been in prison with iron mask on. Both works involve a man trying to revenge a king for killing his family member.

well... I think the movie "Law Abiding Citizen" is kind of similar movie... Well this guy Clyde Shelton was living a normal life but these crazy two guys came to his house and killed his wife and daughter after they raped his wife. He gets angry and kills the two criminal and goes to jail. But he think he had unfair judgement so he starts killing people who involve in the judgement. I thought the people who involve in judging this main character are the hamlet's family and main character is Hamlet.

I could easily connect Hamlet to the movie 'The Lion King'. Even though there are some variations, the movie is completely based on the works of Shakespeare's Hamlet. I am sure that all of guys know the plot so I need no further explaining.

I could connect this to a movie we watched in Mr. Chapman's class. It was about a guy who lost his memory, and his wifed was killed. I guess the theme of uncertainty also applies to this movie because he tries to remember who killed his wife. When he does find out he kills that person.
I think this really relates to the theme of Hamlet because not only does it connect to the theme
of revenge, but also the theme of uncertainty applies as well.

This is from a movie called memento. The theme uncertainty is portrayed very differently here since the ideas and the characters used to portray this theme is greatly different from those of Hamlet. Yet, the theme of uncertainty is shown here as well. The protagonist suffers from short term memory loss everyday throughout the story so every action that he takes turns out to be uncertain. Also the tattoos that he gets in order to remember some things turn out to be all uncertain as well.

I could just connect this whole play with the real world. I thinkt hat this play is so down to earth and so real. The emotions that come withit, as well as the logiv that follows. All the story plots in this play are realistic and are something that is posiible. I think that all the relationship stuff, and the murder stuff and the revenge stuff are all good connectuons to the real world we live in now.

I can make connection to Naruto my favorite animation! SO there is this guy name Sasuke who is full of anger because his village killed his brother. He once loved this village but after finding out that his village only used him, he goes crazy like how Hamlet became crazy after he found out claudius killed his father. Revenge is such a big theme in both Naruto and Hamlet. It is very interesting to see how characters change as soon as they decides to work for revenge.

There is numerous dramas, movies, tv shows, books and stories about a prson who tries to revenge for someone elses mother murder. I dont remember the title just there was this japanese movie about a girl trying to take revenge for the death of her sister. and i think it was pretty similar to hamlet. she had to go through alot of thing and was insane too. Beucase it was too much of a shock for her
