Hamlet: "To be or not to be..."

In class we were able to watch three different versions of Hamlet's "to be or not to be" speech. Out of them all my favorite version was Franco Zefferelli's. I felt like that versions had so many hidden meaning and a lot of feeling. The fact that the scence took place in a catacome was what interested me the most. It was definitely a great decision on the directors part. It gave much more emphasis on the "question" that hamlet was contemplateing. The director also went a different direction then any of the other versions and decides not to use any music. This makes the scene much more intence. It made me focus in on what Hamlet was really saying in his speech. The actor who plays Hamlet in this version,in my opinion, was the best actor out of all the versions. The emphasis that he put on certain words and things that he said helps the audience understand what Hamlet is feeling and going through at the moment. I'm looking forward to finishing this version of Hamlet.
