Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of Luis Bunuel’s play Hamlet. The analysis is done from Mijail Bajtin’s main concepts of the Carnival Theory: popular culture, carnivalization, grotesque and laughter. It represents a contribution to the lacking knowledge around a marginal text in the scope of literary criticism as well as drama criticism. It states that Bunuel’s play is an ambivalent, open, intertextual, irreverent and parodic text.
