Gertrude and Claudius
John Updike

1 set                                             Reading Level 3

     
Filling in the gaps in Shakespeare's Hamlet, this story brings to life Gertrude's girlhood as the daughter of King Rorik, her arranged marriage to the man who becomes King Hamlet, and her middle-aged affair with her husband's younger brother.  Even Polonius figures prominently.
