Recently, there has been a rise in film adaptations of books that have sent fans of fiction flocking to the theaters to see how directors have changed or kept the foundations of the books they love. But film directors are not the only ones who feel that audiences should experience books live, as TV screen writers are showing their literary chops as well. Listed are a few TV series that are very literary.
Sons of Anarchy
Does the story of a prince who is torn between his duty and his family sound familiar? If not, how about the hesitant prince, who rather orchestrate a crazy plan to avoid killing someone he is instructed to kill? Of course we are talking about Prince Hamlet, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. FX’s recent ending of its hit show made audiences believe the Shakespearean connection even more, as a quote from Shakespeare appeared before the ending credits. We have enjoyed seeing Jax’s—AKA Price Hamlet, plot twists and struggle to act before it eventually led to his own demise. The Ghost of King Hamlet was fun to spot in each season as well.
