And the award for strangest Hamlet reference goes to...
10 June 2008 03:17 PM Filed in: Announcements |Humor
The universe is filled with references to Shakespeare’s work, and to Hamlet in particular. I thought I had seen the bottom of the barrel when I viewed the trailer for Hamlet 2, but that was before I saw the trailer for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead. For those of you that don’t know, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are minor characters in Hamlet whose characters are the focus of the 1966 Tom Stoppard absurdist work, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Apparently, somebody thought it would be a great idea to rework the concept as a zombie piece. Filed under “more evidence of the collapse of Western civilization.”
Update: viewed the RC&GaU trailer, and it’s not what it looks like. Still looks bad.

You should see the appropriate assignment listed. Click on it, then post your observations. Thank you!
I have been asked about the requirements for the literary terms definitions. You may write the "dictionary" definition if you understand exactly what it means; however, if you have some trouble with the dictionary definition, you should put it in your own words. In other words, I don't really care which definition you use, as long as it is a definition that helps you to remember the meaning and usage of the term. Hope that helps.
