Méliès' adaptation is a faithful and conservative interpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy. It mirrors the social and demographic hierarchies of the early 20th century without challenging them. The film closely follows the established literary source material. This results in a narrative that does not intentionally address modern diversity standards, focusing instead on traditional dramatic structures. Ultimately, the work serves as a historical artifact of its time. It maintains a homogeneous cast and upholds the patriarchal and Western-centric frameworks inherent in the original text.
