Hamlet: A Populist Tragedy | The Great Conversation

Relating the Classics to Modern Life. First Year Reading List. Modern Works: Jennifer Government by Max Barry →. Hamlet: A Populist Tragedy. February 12, 2015. The next reading in the Great Books is the “Tragedy of Hamlet,” by William Shakespeare. In reading it again, I think that Hamlet is a populist tragedy. Many of the people killed in the play are not aware of what is happening. Hamlet and Claudius mislead people and they die for it. If you read Hamlet you should find this play and watch the movie.

Modern Works: Jennifer Government by Max Barry. May 31, 2015. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. The author trusts his reader to get the symbolism rather than trumpeting explanations about why things are this way. While some of it can seem obvious, when you stop to think about the action, there is nuance to be found. View all my reviews. Enter your comment here.
