I will bestow the crown to whoever can provide me with an answer, an actual revised scene from Hamlet.
Goal
Revise a scene from Hamlet in a way that brings it "up to date."
Role
You are a young writer seeking to break into the screen-writing world.
Audience
Your target audience consists of producers at a film company that is looking to offer a "new" version of Hamlet, one that is more modern and appeals to a more contemporary audience. Thus, your audience also includes that more contemporary audience.
Situation
Several of Shakespeare's plays have been updated and made into modern productions. Ten Things I Hate About You is an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew. She's the Man is an adaptation of Twelfth Night. The production company you hope to impress has invited aspiring screenwriters to submit an updated opening scene for Hamlet--i. e., the appearance of the ghost.
Product or Performance
You'll need to study that scene carefully, and then imagine a similar situation as it might occur today. Some key aspects of the scene include the fact that apparition encourages someone to "set it right." The thing that must be set right need not be a murder. In fact, the "crime" doesn't have to be serious. However, you must follow the outline of the opening scene of Hamlet. You must also use as much of Shakespeare's style of language as possible. Not iambic pentameter, necessarily, but at least the diction that Shakespeare used. (Thee, thou, maketh, etc.)
Standards for Success
The scene is reproduced in a satisfactory manner, following the plot outline as much as possible, but incorporating a more modern situation.
The main character is charged with exacting some form of retribution.
The language used closely mirrors Shakespeare's language.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
