The literary Significance of Hamlet's Adaptation in Jawad Al Assadi's Forget Hamlet

Abstract

Jawad Al Assadi's Forget Hamlet constitutes confusion for readers/audience. In fact, the title is an invitation to see Hamlet from an Arabic standpoint. The play offers an indication to many Arab countries under bad controlling regimes. This indication creates a specific analysis for the character of Hamlet as a philosopher and a coward. Hamlet symbolizes Arab people, not the revolutionary, but the intellectual ones who explain more than act. Thus, Forget Hamlet provides the findings of the author to employ them with the creative reinterpretation for Shakespeare's Hamlet.
