- Description
- William Shakespeare famously referred to“the state of Denmark”in the first act of a play that was all about the difficulty experienced by a young Danish prince in making up his mind, as well as his reluctance to speak it. Divided opinion is at the center of free speech matters in Shakespeare’s Hamlet,just as it is at the center of free speech matters in Denmark today. This is apparent in regard to two significant events in Denmark in the last eighteen years,both of which relate to freedom of speech in matters of religion.
