- Authors
VOSS, TONY
- Abstract
The article examines whether or not the action and image of the crowd in a sequence of William Shakespeare's works can achieve anything like the dimensions of myth. It offers information on the political, social, and psychological demands of William Shakespeare's context such as the theatrical play "Hamlet." It mentions that it is the nature tragic of the play to show the transformation of both social history and individual experience into myth.
