Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
Maurice Evans writes in his “Comments on Playing the Role of Hamlet: it is ironic that Shakespeare's solicitude for his actor companions should have been repaid by actors of succeeding generations in such doubtful coin. I have been unable to trace the origin of the appellation of “The Gloomy Dane” as descriptive of Hamlet, but it is safe to surmise that some actor of mournful aspect was responsible for this forbidding label. The Gloomy Dane makes way for the Princely Dane (Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson), the Intellectual Dane (Sir John Gielgud), for (in my own case) the Soldierly Dane.
