Still there is an obvious (yet often subtle) extent to which Branagh tries

Comparing the Presentation of War in the Oliver and Branagh Film Versions of Henry the Fifth Many films have been made of Shakespeare’s play, “Henry V”. The two I am analysing are by Laurence Olivier (1944) and Kenneth Branagh (1988). They are made for very different audiences with different aims. Although they seem very different, in some ways, Branagh’s version used many techniques of Olivier’s. Both productions were performed to communicate the director’s feelings on

Revenge, ambition, and envy can all disrupt a society. Claudius, in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Commodus, in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, are both disturbing the order of society caused by their thirst for ambition, ultimately leading to the death of these men. To begin with, the jealousy and ambition in the cruel men blind them from the true facts.

In Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Hamlet is the protagonist and the most complicated character of all. Not only do his complicated emotions determine the outcome of his life but also those of the other characters. Hamlet has shown his audience how unpredictable of a person he is throughout the play. The first impression Hamlet brings to his audience is a confusing feeling. Is he a villain? Or is he a hero, who loves his father and will avenge for his death? For a while that Hamlet chooses to not
