THE MELANCHOLY DANE.

Supposed soures Of the Plat Of Shake
Epsars's Hamlet"
While Shakespeare no doubt
wrote the tragedy of Hamlet" as
it is found today, he borrowed many
Of his data from IN earlier writer,
Saxo examinations, g Danish his
toriRa who died about 1904 His
writings were IN Latin, and in
ShRkespeare's time they had not
been translated into any modern
language. The story is to be found
In Bellef0rests collection Of nov
els, begun IN 1864, and an English
translation Of it was published en-
titled The Historic Of Hamblet,
Prince Of Denmarke." Horvendile
II the novel Is the name Of Ham
let's father, Fengon that Of his m
Gle and Gerurh that Of his mother.
Fengon traiTorously slays Horven-
die and marries his brothers wife.
In the second chapter Hamlet coun-
tsrfeits the mailman 70 escape the
tyranny Of his uncle Through the
Vaccinations Of his uncle he Is
tempted BY q woman, the uncle
thinking thereby 10 undermine the
prince and find out whether his
madness Is eounterfeited OF not.
In the third chapter Fengon, the
uncle, tries & second time 70 en-
trap Hamlet IN polite madness and
causes one Of his councillors 10 he
secretly hidden in the queens
chamber behind the curtains 70
hear what speeches pass between
Hamlet and the queen Hamlet
kills him and thus escapes danger.
In the fourth chapter Hamlet is
sent TO England BY Fsngon, with
secret letters to have him put 10
death While his companions sleep
Hamlet eouhterfsits the letters
willing the king Of England TO put
the two messengers 10 death" Here
ends the resemblance between the
history and the play. The Hamlet
Of the history returns 70 Denmark,
slEys MS uncle, burns his palace,
makes an Grafton 10 the Danes and
Is elected king. He goes back TO
England, kills the king Of that
country, returns to Denmark with
two English wives and finally falls
through the trsachery Of one Of
these ladies. This is the supposed
source Of the plot Of Shakespeare
"HEmlst."
