- Abstract
This paper views the structure of space in Shakespeare's Hamlet, its correlation with characters' expression and their world-view. It explores the image of space formed by cultural period, space dimentions typical for Renaissance and Middle Ages. Antropocentric world-view, horizontal, which means geografic and natural spacial perspectiv dominates in the play. However a contrast between the episteme of Renaissance and that of Middle Ages is not equivalent to a dichotomy between good and evil, and humanistic mind covers much more than stereotype spacial images of Renaissance. Naturality, as well as the extention of geografic horizon often gets a negative connotation in Hamlet, and the beyond, a vertical dimention of space becomes an important condition of harmony in the world -- disregard for which leads to the tragic mistake and catastrophe.
