Quiz: The women in Hamlet

In her play A Room in the Castle, Lauren M. Gunderson explores the world of women in Hamlet, including two familiar characters and a third one of her own creation. Gunderson’s play made us think about the women in Shakespeare’s original play in a new way, too, from Ophelia to Gertrude… and more! Try out our questions about “Women in Hamlet.”
