Hamlet rpg

Making hamlet into an rpg........at first I thought the professor was joking but this is a good idea. The story of Hamlet is a very good story but the dialect in which the story was told was very difficult to understand. The main benefit of this game is that it can give people an interactive understanding of the story within Hamlet. By using different characters the story can be told in a different, and in my opinion, more efficient way. By giving the user a in game story mode background you can illustrate the elements of Hamlet and leave the player to deduce his/her own interpretations of the story. For example, while playing the game each player may have a different reaction to Gertrude's persona. Whether it being trust or distaste, by playing the game you will come to make your own decisions. One suggestion I have if it hasn't already been done is to offer a in game choice to the players, allowing them to choose one path or another, while still maintaining the structure of the story.-J.
