Hamlet, Art, and Apoptosis: The Shakespearean Artwork of Julie Newdoll

Hamlet, Art, and Apoptosis: The Shakespearean Artwork of Julie Newdoll <p>Contemporary artist Julie Newdoll’s painted series “Shakespeare: The Mirror up to Science” explores the connection between Shakespeare’s <i>Hamlet</i>, suicide, and science.

Pollin that Hamlet’s revenge is fueled by his desire to commit suicide, Newdoll shows how the biological process of apoptosis—that is, programmed cell death—can be used as a metaphor for Hamlet’s suicide narrative through her paintings.</p> http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Interdisciplinary Literary Studies Penn State University Press

Abstract

<p>Contemporary artist Julie Newdoll’s painted series “Shakespeare: The Mirror up to Science” explores the connection between Shakespeare’s <i>Hamlet</i>, suicide, and science. Using the thesis supported by the work of Burton R. Pollin that Hamlet’s revenge is fueled by his desire to commit suicide, Newdoll shows how the biological process of apoptosis—that is, programmed cell death—can be used as a metaphor for Hamlet’s suicide narrative through her paintings.</p>
