Write three to four sentences explaining which adaptation of Hamlet you think is more successful. Use specific evidence from the adaptations to support your claims.

Answer:

I think the more effective adaptation is the one in which the actor plays both Hamlet and the ghost. The way the actor changes his voice and body language as he speaks helps convey Hamlet's fractured state of mind. In the other version, the actor speaks in a calmer, softer voice, so Hamlet's anguish is not as obvious.
