Marcel Álvaro de Amorim,

Shakespeare, Adaptation, and Literary Criticism

This paper focuses on two film productions of the Shakespearean play Hamlet (1600-1601), both made in Brazil in the 1970s. It is my contention that A herança (“The Inheritance”), by Ozualdo Candeias (1970), and O jogo da vida e da morte (“The Game of Life and Death”), by Mario Kuperman (1971), constitute intertextual works which can be understood as transcultural, anthropophagic adaptations of the Shakespearean drama.
