Hamlet and The Spanish Tragedy
The Forest of Arden is described as ‘that shadow-land elsewhere’ (Introduction, As You Like It, p. 1).
What extent is a fantasy of ‘elsewhere’ significant in Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy? The quotation used in the question refers to As You Like It; you are not required to write about that text.
Focus should be: the temporal ‘elsewhere’ i.e. the idealised elsewhere of a real or imagined past in relation to the characters of Hamlet and Bel-Imperia.
