Özet
Shakespeare's works on the Turkish stage have a long and exciting history, whose roots go back to the reign of Ottoman sultans in the nineteenth century. However, Hamlet, Shakespeare's most frequently performed and filmed play of all times, was visited late by Turkish cinema. In 1976, Metin Erksan appropriated Hamlet as Intikam Melegi/The Angel of Vengeance, also known as Kadin Hamlet/The Female Hamlet. This article, aligning with Russian semiotician Yuri Lotman's views about the stages of cultural transfer, reviews the reception of Shakespeare's plays in Turkish culture, and then discusses Metin Erksan's The Angel of Vengeance (1976), both as an example of Lotman's theory of intercultural transfer and an amalgam of Turkish cinematographic conventions like family melodrama and the National Cinema movement.
