And prologue to the omen coming on, Have heaven and earth together demonstrated Unto our climatures and countrymen.
i guess the last time i read hamlet was 2018, and i did start to think more about Who the ghost is and what he wants.
is he exactly what he appears, as selfish as hamlet and claudius and gertrude. so human and caught up in the agony of his murder that even he can't see what's coming for them.
is he a demon to tempt young hamlet into damning denmark.
or is he simply...an omen. one that exacerbates a problem that already exists but not the cause. hamlet's already angry with his uncle and mother. the idea would have come to him with or without the ghost.
