Assignment task: Read Rosmarie Gavin's "The Lion King and Hamlet: A Homecoming for the Exiled Child." In this small article, Gavin explains parallels she and her students find between Hamlet and Disney's The Lion King. Among other questions, one of the fundamental generative questions Gavin and her students ask is "What is a hero?" Based on your reading of Hamlet, would you consider Hamlet to be a hero? If so, in what ways? If not, why not? Is this heroism/lack of heroism in line with other heroes/anti-heroes we've read this semester? In what ways? Your response should be approximately 500 words. This response may not be AI-generated; neither should your ideas for this response. Need Assignment Help?
