Good class discussion on the many differences. I think how you picked up on the use of white in the film. It def was a strange contrast to some of the "darker" versions.
This week we will be looking at stress, tone and inflection. In particular, how each can alter the meaning of the play.
HW: Please take a look at Voltemand's speech on pg 71 (Act 2 Scene 2) and be prepared to give it as a news report. Focus on how it would be read as a modern news story on the state of the nation. We will present these in class Tuesday.
