Hey I have this assignment on the Shakespearean play Hamlet. Basically I need to find some songs that Claudius would listen to. Can anyone help me?

sparknotes is your friend

[adak]

they have that kind of help? I understand the book i need songs that someone like Claudius would listen to if he had a mp3 player

[pencil_geeks*]

ahahahaha wtf.. classical music. because after his killings he needs to calm himself down.

some.. gangster rap or something that'll hype him up.

perhaps... pharoahe monch - simon says

and.. deep side booty music while he sleeps while hamlets mom.


ahahahaha.. hopefully claudius is the uncle. dont remember hamlet that well. just last year.

yes Claudis is the Uncle of Hamlet. He was the queen`s lover until he killed Hamlet`s father with poison and then became the king himself

metal...it's what first popped into my head. classical is too obvious XD

[adak]

any song suggestions? i only listen to happy songs...i so need to broaden my music

[joolee.]

He would probably listen to Mozart? Wait, was Mozart even alive at that time? O____o

Hamlet took place in BC but Shakespeare adds present things from his time into the play (I forgot what the dictionary name for that was), such as God, the University Hamlet went to (which was invented in the 1500s I think)...

hmm what would Claudius listen to. It would be interesting if he listened to Gospel music or death metalxD

it doesn't matter what time period the music is in because its just a "what if" assignment like what if Claudius came to year 2008 in a time machine or something like that
