hamlet and r&g (1 Viewer)

[Nelly_04]

i really need some help with this whole hamlet r/g transformation thing......i know the values and themes, but don't understand what we're meant to do with them. Is this topic meant to be a comparison between the texts?

any help would be much appreciated

Tomorrow I am writing my essay....AHH! But I assume you are not, so I will post my essay up for you. Whether its any good or not...no, I think I've got a handle on it. Yeah, its a comparison between the two, or RECONTEXTUALISATION. But you're supposed to write 1/3 on ham and 2/3 on RAGAD so....
I'll send you my essay?

Ok, maybe i'm lost. But i was under the impression that we were studying the transformation of RAGAD from Hamlet, not necessarily comparing the two...

 

[slipper]

we haven't done it yet, but aren't you meant to be comparing the values of each society as it produced the text?
i could be completely wrong though.

*lost*

I was and am under the impression that we are looking at RAGAD as a transformation of Hamlet. I spose you can compare the two, but aren't you meant to talk about the transformation more so?

 

[slipper]

Hmm.
Okay, but don't you look at the culture that produced "Hamlet" and then look at the culture that produced "R and G" and provide reasons for its transformation?

 

[Kortni]

*cries*

Yeah you do. I just read a post from a previous thread.

"You're studying how hamlet is transformed into ros& guild, and why those transformations are appropriate, relating it to context"

I spose we did do that, but we focused more so on techniques and such that i forgot what we were even transforming.

Hope this helps clear things up

I've already studied R&G and Hamlet. From what I know - we are studying the transformation but we have to study the values, themes and contexts as well to see how/why they are transformed.

For example the themes in Hamlet are very different to the ones in R & G so we have to say how there different and why -

why figure out why from the context. - R & G is written in a "pessimistic society" and the people of this time dont depend on religion as much. this may be one reason why the themes have changed.

I hope this is some help on how you are suppose to study and analyse the transformation texts. My notes still have to be put on this computer so I can post them - but I will put them up when I can.
