Final Project - Polonius' Death Comic Strip









A note from the artist:

"I chose this scene because I feel it is one of the major turning points that signifies the second half of the play and sets every consequent action into motion. The murder of Polonius is an important symbol that is sort of just brushed off in the play as an insignificant accident, but under closer inspection it means much more. The purpose in choosing to illustrate this scene is to show how an actual physical interpretation of the play can be extracted from the lines themselves, as Shakespeare very sparsely includes stage directions unless its a major course of action that he intended a specific character to take."
