| Jan Kott | 'Hamlet is a great scenario, in which every character has a more or less tragic and cruel part to play... The scenario is independent of the characters; ... It defines the situations, as well as the mutual relations of the characters. But it does not say who the characters are. It is something external in relation to them. And that is why the scenario of Hamlet can by played by different sorts of characters. ' |
