The character Igor Dmitriev played in "Hamlet" was summoned by what king to distract the prince from his apparent madness?
Igor Dmitriev Igor Borisovich Dmitriev (Russian: И́горь Бори́сович Дми́триев ) (May 29, 1927 – January 26, 2008) was a Russian film and theater actor who specialized in playing aristocratic characters in costume productions (e.g., Rosencrantz in Grigori Kozintsev's "Hamlet").
Critical approaches to Hamlet From its premiere at the turn of the 17th century, "Hamlet" has remained Shakespeare's best-known, most-imitated, and most-analyzed play. The character of Hamlet played a critical role in Sigmund Freud's explanation of the Oedipus complex and thus influenced modern psychology. Even within the narrower field of literature, the play's influence has been strong. As Foakes writes, "No other character's name in Shakespeare's plays, and few in literature, have come to embody an attitude to life [...] and been converted into a noun in this way."
