4. Final Remarks

 

From the analysis carried out, some conclusion should be drawn. Firstly, it is important to highlight the usefulness of the subtitles. They help to understand what has been considered the best adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; however, from my point of view, the translation has not been paid the consideration it deserves.

 

Many pages on Shakespeare can be found containing very useful information. It is only a thing of spending time searching and researching in order to find the kind of information one is interested in.

http://www.ethicsineducation.com/HenryV.pdf  Article that explains how to use Shakespeare’s Henry V in order to teach War Principles.

 

All these are just some examples, there are infinite websites that offer information on Shakespeare work and how to use it. I have only googled words and/or sentences such as: Hamlet; Hamlet directed by Kozintsev; Hamlet on Film; Hamlet en español; hamlet con subtítulos en español; traducir hamlet al español; shakespeare subtitulado; hamlet’s language; films to teach shakespeare; studying hamlet on film.

 

These searches also showed other websites that have been ruled out. They were informative about the plot and the characters and therefore more appropriate for beginner students. These websites were, for instance:

            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet,

http://www.enotes.com/hamlet/,

http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/hamlet/
