Hamlet — Prince of Denmark "Hamlet", the play, has
probably been analysed more than any other work of literature. Despite this continual
process there is a limited amount of original thinking. There are still unsolved problems.
For example, why does Claudius supposedly reveal his guilt when he sees the murder at the
end of "The Mousetrap" and not when he sees it a few minutes earlier during the
dumb-show? No satisfactory answer exists! Perhaps it didn't happen quite like that. Could
it be that despite the knowledge and expertise of the analysts they have got the story
wrong simply because they have missed some important points? Let's have a look at some of
those 'points'.
