Hamlet Wound Man

A “wound man” is a medical illustration depicting the world’s most stoic man and the many near-fatal diseases and wounds it is possible for the human body to suffer.

A “Hamlet wound man” is essentially the same thing, documenting al the various places Hamlet receives his fatal scratch in his final duel. I’ve taken the liberty of reviewing all the filmed Hamlets I have been able to find to and documenting the scratch locations, but feel free to add your own in the blanks provided.

In the many live Hamlets I have see, I remember seeing one face wound (cheek) and one that looked suspiciously like he was stabbed in the butt (also cheek). Variety is the spice of life.
