Is The Northman’s Story Coming From Hamlet?

Many reviews compare The Northman by Robert Eggers and Hamlet by Shakespeare and they’re familiar with many points that’s why their common decision is The Northman is a Viking version of Hamlet.

Hamlet is based on the story tells Hamlet’s revenge story from his uncle who murdered his father and married his mother. In this tragedy, Hamlet and The Northman are sharing same topic as a blood-revenge story but we can’t say that The Northman’s starting point from Hamlet because also Hamlet was inspired by the legend of Amleth, which was a small section of a larger saga written in the early 13th century by a Danish historian named Saxo.

Robert Eggers made the movie with Scandinavian legendary in Viking ages. He explained the reason for choosing the basic this same plot in interviews and said that wanted to create a story that everyone can follow easily.
