    Through Rose Colored Glasses: How the Victorian Age Shifted the Focus of Hamlet

(Hazlitt 164-169) Though it is clearly a testament to the realism of Shakespeare's tragedy, there is something strange and confusing in Hazlitt's analysis. To put it plainly, Hamlet is most definitely not a realistic play.
