The subtle similarities between Star Wars and Hamlet
Star War, an epic, a true masterpiece, but most of all, a Hamlet story. Luke Skywalker, a young prodigy in the art of the force, is on a quest for revenge on the death of his father. Like Hamlet, Luke seeks revenge on behalf of his father's death. Star wars is a revenge epic, it follows a young man on a quest for revenge. Darth Vader, the alleged murder, would represent Claudius and Luke Skywalker would be Hamlet. Princess Leia could resemble Ophelia, but that would not be likely because she turns out to be Luke Skywalker's sister. This is one of the many examples of the hamlet troupe being used in modern day cinema.
