Hamlet and Gjorg Berisha: a Comparative Study of Characters
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The art of literature has brought together the experiences of human society and foregrounded various artistic values. The effort to examine the elements of universalization in literature through the perspective of juxtaposition is an innovation of this study. The purpose of this paper is to highlight this type of universalization, recognizing two characters from different literatures, genres, and cultures. The work is based on the main theme, which is revenge, but it also deals with some key elements such as life, death, justice, honor, love, passion, etc., through which the characters are compared as a whole. The study provides a comparative perspective, where systematic juxtaposition assists in identifying shared and distinctive elements throughout the logical flow of the narrative. The compared elements are of different natures and different in contextual and social aspects (events, situations, psychological aspects, space-time, etc.). For the comparison of these elements, a blend of comparative methodology, juxtaposition, as well as methods of variation and inclusion have been employed. The study holds a novel scientific value, as it extensively delves into comparison through juxtaposition, and aims to explore universal literary issues by recognizing two characters, Gjorg Berisha and Hamlet.
