Indeed zestful, masculine, youthful, and almost gay is the Evans Hamlet. Doubtless a reaction from the involved psychological analyses so commonly foisted upon the original character in recent years, Mr. Evans' interpretation is vigor ous, and comparatively speaking, simple. To the ghost, Hamlet shows a nature capable of passionate hatred; to his uncle, he is actively hostile, not sullen or melancholy; to Polonius, he is flip, humorous; to Ophelia, deeply in love; to his mother, pitiless, scornful.
