The study investigates Shakespeare’s universal human experience in Hamlet by comparing cultural shifts in two adaptations, what components of Shakespeare's original are retained or changed, and how speech and story advance. Meiliana believes that comparative literature explores connections between literary works, examining sources, topics, mythologies, genres, creative techniques, social movements, and trends, breaking traditional national and international boundaries, and determining universal human interactions. Shakespeare is one of the most significant writers in the history of literature, thus there is not much point in contesting that. His writings have been essential to any study of literature for centuries and have inspired innumerable popular and non-popular adaptations and imitators of his style. The research is a critique of the two Shakespearean play adaptations, Haider (2014) by Vishal Bhardwaj and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990), by Tom Stoppard based on rigorous and in-depth research into the scholarly debate around them.
