How much is a 1896 published Shakepeares Tragedy of Hamlet book worth today?
EarnieFrederick
Depends. If it's in excellent condition, you could get a nice fee (probably a couple hundred). A fair copy sells for between 10-30. I have a 2 copies from the 1890's. If it was published the US, it would fetch more. That was right around when American publisher's started printing their own versions of the plays. Also, does it have notes in the back or a glossary. Those are more rare in earlier versions and thus, make it more unique. I'm just an amateur, but I hope this helps.

Is HAMLET a modern play?
There are still kings in the modern world, so yes, a man might murder his brother (the king) to steal his crown and his wife, while the son of the murdered king might plot revenge on the man who murdered his father. Hamlet could still happen today, although they are very few kings, and kingdoms in the world today. Most kings today have very little power.

Why was Hamlet considered so important?
The tragedy of Hamlet has been around since what is believed to be about 1599. So exactly why has this play been around for so long? Perhaps the most famous quotation comes from the existential dilemma that causes Hamlet to question whether he should continue living or just quit? Put into Shakespeare's brilliant language, Hamlet says, "To be or not to be, that is the question."(Shakespeare). As Hamlet is having trouble in life, he is able to show the voice of a problem that still confronts a large amount of people today. Other than the ever so popular quote, Hamlet really grabs the audience into the play. With ghosts, betrayal, madness, murder, and the famous bloodbath that takes place in the end, Hamlet would even be a major hit in Hollywood today. Yet another reason Hamlet remains around today, is that it brings up so many questions that are still debated today. For example, "To be or not to be, that is the question."(Shakespeare). Well we know the question but what is the answer. Although the book can hint at what the answer is believed to be, it is truly up to the audience to decide for themselves. Furthermore, the tragic play brings about questions of religion, philosophical issues, political issues, psychoanalytical issues, and also feminist issues.
Why might hamlet have decided to throw off his disguise at the gravesite?
He doesn't. He jumps in the grave, on top of Ophelia's dead body. On the stage of a theatre like the Globe there would be a trap door and hole in the stage which the actor would jump into. It is usually done that way even today. His reason for doing this is that Laertes had done it first, and Hamlet thought he was showing off.
What are the themes of each scene of Hamlet?
1. Act I sc2. "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt...But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue."This soliloquy is spoken by Hamlet after he sees his mother whom Claudius has married, completely reconciled to her new state. She does not mourn the death of her husband (Hamlet's father) and seems happily married to Claudius. Hamlet is shocked at the change in his mother's attitude and this soliloquy expresses his disgust towards all women in the now famous line: "fraility thy name is woman!" In fact, he is so disgusted that he wishes that he could die and that he is even prepared to commit suicide. It is this soliloquy which has led many psychoanalytical critics to conclude that Hamlet suffers from an 'Oedipus Complex.'2. Act I Sc5. "O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?....I have sworn 't."This soliloquy is spoken by Hamlet after the Ghost reveals to him how Claudius had murdered him. Hamlet is completely overwhelmed by hatred towards his uncle Claudius and vows to kill him in obedience to his father's wishes. Hamlet's father's ghost reminds him to never give up his idea of revenging his murder. So Hamlet practises what psychologists would today term as 'selective amnesia.' That is, deliberately forget everything that has been stored in his memory but always to remember only one thing - to kill his uncle Claudius and fulfill his father's ghost's wishes.
