Three different texts of Hamlet were published in the Shakespeare era. Prince Denmark Hamlet 's revenge entered the stationery ledger in 1603, now known as the first quark. It is considered incorrect and full of pirate, consisting of memories of actors. The second Quarto appeared in 1604. Believed to be printed from Shakespeare's own manuscript, it was stamped: "Full and complete Coppie, expansion to as many as new prints." This version contains most modern version sources is. The second part of the revised edition is published in the first work of 1623. This version is deemed to have changed from the script copy or the actor's script. This is because the cut lines are not dramatic but literary.

Because Hamlet is very complicated and ambiguous, not only interpretation differs every time you read each sentence and its performance, but the version of the drama may be different. This course examines different "versions" of character Hamlet and his overall drama in four ways: First, by reading the "basic" text, secondly, the three major of Shakespeare's text By studying the version, the first one is off, the third is through the interpretation by the actors of the Shakespeare piece on the stage and in the movies, the fourth is by interpretation of characters and events in the play before and after Shakespeare by other writers .
