In Branagh’s version of Hamlet the scene took place in a modernized castle, the costumes weren’t typical medieval dress instead they were very common wealthy outfits. Even the so called “maids,” like Ophelia were dressed nicely; this allows the audience to focus more on the obvious storyline rather than the different social classes. This was a very effective way of presenting ‘Hamlet’ because instead of looking at the controversy in Ophelia and Hamlets relationship I looked at the overall plot…

Matthew McGee Epistemology Final Paper Q1 Goodman 's “grue” example and Hempel’s Raven Paradox are very similar.
