Hamlet in MORE Pop Culture



We've talked about how influential this play is, and due to its influence, Hamlet has been featured in quite a bit of pop culture. I found some really cool references, which I discuss below:

1) Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement (when I saw this, I was pretty excited)

Lily, Mia's best friend, refers to Mia's maids as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because they were very nosey and always tried to intrude in Mia's affairs.

2) Clueless (also was excited about this)


3) Beyonce's "Freakum Dress" (excited pt. 3)

Right in the beginning of the song before she starts to sing, Beyonce whispers "to be or not to be...not!" Listen for yourself!
