"Swear. . . . Nay come, let's go together."
SVEND GADE HAMLET (back to top)
In
Svend Gade's film version, we are never shown a scene on the castle ramparts.
Instead, much of the information that Shakespeare gives us in 1.4 and 1.5 appears
in the film in altered form and in other contexts. Actions merely described
in the text are sometimes enacted in the film; and sometimes specific moments
in the play inspire entirely new scenes and sequences.
(1.5.187

At school
in Wittenberg, Hamlet and Horatio seem interested in more than just their studies.
"There are more things in heauen and earth, Horatio,/ Than are dreamt of in
our philosophy."
(1.5.129;
1.5.120 - 212)
Horatio
attempts to share in Hamlet’s grief.
"Hor. Good my Lord, tell it./ Ham. No you will reveal it."
(1.5.191;
1.5.99 - 212)
Hamlet
shares her suspicions and her plan with Horatio.
"As I perchance hereafter shall think meet/ To put an Antic disposition on."
