Example of using a new medium to interpret the original work is - A poem about how the prince feels about the loss of his father.

Option A

Explanation:

‘Hamlet’ is a tragic novel authored by the renowned author William Shakespeare. If one would have to pick a new medium to interpret the original work, it would most certainly be, ‘A poem about how the prince feels about the loss of his father.’

This play is all about how Hamlet’s uncle Claudius killed his father and married his mother. So this is a story of the revenge of a son for his father. No other medium can be as effective as this one.  

there are several different forms of presenting this; each has a very specific format. plays have a very simple format; teleplays, for television shows, or screenplays, for movies, have more complex and strict rules for formatting.
