Full Description
This book offers an innovative comparative analysis of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Pirandello's Enrico IV, structured in four chapters that explore the intertextual relationship between these two masterpieces. Beginning with an introduction that lays the groundwork, the text moves to a section titled 'Preliminary Considerations,' which defines the study's focus and establishes the critical methodology. The core of the book, the central chapter entitled Comparative Study, delves deeply into the shared and contrasting elements between the two tragedies, presenting an original and cumulative interpretation that connects key concepts like original sin, farce, simulacrum, and simulation. The theoretical approach, carefully developed and organized into thematic blocks, unfolds with analytical rigor to offer a Shakespearean reading of Enrico IV. This study is an essential reference for those seeking to understand the complex interrelations between these two great texts and their relevance in contemporary literature and criticism.
