Talk:Amleth

message: I don't think that the suggestion to merge with the Ur-Hamlet page is a good idea. They are two distinct phenomena and shouldn't be confused with one another.

thread_title:  Suggestion to merge with Ur-Hamlet 

message: I fail to see any. Where is the info in this article coming from? It said at the bottom it uses info from an Britannica article thats now in the public domain or something. But what article?!? I can't use this page for any assignment or anything if there are no resources. And if it is there but i missed it, it should be made more obvious so a common person like me can be more efficient in using Wikipedia... --Xali (talk) 02:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  References? 

message: This one should be added to the "Adaptations" section of the Hamlet information box.  The late Anna Russell reduced the play to a 30-minute opera summary in the style of Giuseppe Verdi.
She begins, "As you know, Verdi has done many adaptations of the Shakespeare plays.  He has not, as a matter of fact, done one of Hamlet - but I'm not for a moment going to let that stand in my way."  As she begins, accompanying herself on the piano, she notes the libretto is in Italian but that she will translate as necessary to understand the plot.  
Guard: O Hamletto!  We have seen a ghost!
Hamletto:  No!  Ridiculo!
Guard:  E vero!  Un ghost!
(Mezzanotte)
Hamletto:  O Dio!  O Terror!  O Spook!  Parlatemi!
Il Ghost:  Io sono su padre's ghost!  Vindicate il mio foul and most unnatural murder!  Your uncle did pour poison in mine ear!  Hamletto!  Adio!  Remember me!

replies: text: It can only be added to the box if it has an article of its own, and frankly it does not seem notable enough for that. --Saddhiyama (talk) 08:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Floating around on the internet, I found this, 
:"Michael Skovmand, Dept. of English at U. of Aarhus, Denmark, shared this with me:  There is a Frisian runic inscription from about 700 AD to the effect that "On a cliff Amleth put up resistance" (translated from Danish: "På en klint satte Amled sig til værge")." 
Skovmand published a paper in 1992, where he apparently makes this case. 
Now if you know about Frisian runes you will realize that an alleged inscription reading "on a cliff Amleth put up resistance" would be a rather sensational find. 
It is my suspicion, merely based on the occurrence of the string æmluþ, that this is in fact Skovmand's own reading of the notorious Westeremden yew-stick, which is by far the longest of the Frisian inscriptions. 
Needless to say, the inscription  ophæmujiBAdaæmluþ:wimœBæhþuSAiwioKuPdunale has about as many interpretations as there have been scholars writing about it. 
So if  Skovmand's hypothesis has been published, we can of course make mention of it, but please, not in the tone of "Amleth is mentioned in a Frisian runic inscription dated c. 700". --dab (𒁳) 16:20, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Shakespeare's sense of irony with this meaning, intended or not, would be poignant: yew was the favored wood to work for forming long-bows (arrowshaft being made from Rushes), a "beau"/bow known for bringing death - very much cut from such stuff Hamlet would be.

thread_title:  Etymology: yew-wood stick/bough 

message: The passages about Amleth are not to be found in the Gertz edition of the Chronicon Lethrense, only in much later manuscripts of the Gesta Danorum på Danskæ, so some information about the authenticity and date of these later fragments might be desirable. See also the information provided by the University of Bergen, which refers to a Swedish translation, which does not mention Amleth at all. The confustion might originate from bold and unsubstantiated statements on the Shakespeare-pages of the University of Victoria.Otto S. Knottnerus (talk) 16:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: After some further inquiry, I skipped the reference to the Chronicon Lethrense and renamed the section. There is no indication that the original Lejre chronicon contained any reference to Amlethus.Otto S. Knottnerus (talk) 00:30, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
