Some Ideas About Prince Harry and Prince Hamlet


Those two cool characters are different from each other but they have some interesting similarties also.  Although they are both prince, they live very differently and think very differently.  Hamlet and Harry both doesn’t care about fame and becoming king.  Well Harry has plans to become a better prince and become a king but still, he doesn’t seem to be care about fame a lot.  Harry(at least most of the part) doesn’t care about the kingdom, but Hamlet wants to avenge his father and revive the kingdom in some way.  Harry wants to change and this is interesting to me.  We didn’t see any other characters that want to change his way of living like Harry.  I mean we saw some life changes due to events but Harry plans to change with his own free will.  Hamlet seems more cool than Harry but Harry is more intelligent.  Hamlet is a killer but Harry is fighting to gain intelligence and honor.  He only attacks to those who wants to kill him.  (Like Hotspur)  By the way, I think the most interesting part for me about those two prince is that they both want to impress their fathers aren't they?  I mean they want to impress their fathers in some ways even they are different.  So I wonder If Hamlet and Harry could have a conversation, what would they talk about?  What do you think?

  1. A very good start on an extended comparison and contrast of Harry & Hamlet (both of whose names begin with "H," by the way). I think the father thing is really important. What would psychoanalytical criticism say about the two father-son relationships? Why don't you write an imaginary conversation between Hamlet and Harry?
