Description: "Shakespeare's Hamlet follows a narrative pattern similar to that of the Greek Electra myth. We see signs of Electra's influence again in 20th-century works. This revised edition looks at the influence of Electra on popular culture throughout history and the questions it poses regarding oppositions such as logic versus instinct, night versus day and repression versus freedom"--Provided by publisher.
