Keywords: Hamlet; misconception; flaw; tragic
Summary/Abstract: This study is rooted in classroom experience, and it deals with several misconceptions regarding the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. Starting from the most frequent preconceived ideas students come up with, most of them inoculated by critical readings, we hereby attempt a systematic deconstruction of these, and a construction of a different edifice, hopefully a well-deserved one.
