This engaging Grade 11 lesson from AQ grad Connor D’Angelo brings Shakespeare’s Hamlet to life by comparing the written play with its 1996 film adaptation. Through a feminist lens, students explore gender, power and relationships, while examining how camera angles, acting and other filmmaking choices influence our understanding of characters and shape different interpretations.

Connor is a teacher in the Toronto District School Board.
