Certainly, the great Shakespeare would never portray anything as truly functional
what would the interest in that ? On the other, you must remember
never to assume anything about the dysfunction of the family in Hamlet than is in the
lines. However, it would be interesting to look at Branagh's version in which Polonius
is with a whore and Ophelia and Hamlet ar shown in erotic lust. So what's the point of my ramblings ?
You will have a much easier time if you take only what Shakepeare offers in text, but refer to different
interpretations for the juicy depictions of dysfunction ? Also take a look at all the hypocrisy within the families.
