Adieu, adieu, adieu! remember me.
Anna
hey i know the ghost said that he would be Bound to Revenge in the first part of this scene, but i am realizing right now that his story does not end with a call to action, EXCEPT that "Only God can judge your mother Now, son" technically i guess we've got a couple direct calls to action here: Let no the royal bed of denmark be a couch for luxury and damned incest. Do NOT kill your. Do NOT even THINK about killing your mother. She's not innocent but she is not the one who is Creating an Issue. Remember me. like yes, the ghost tells him knowing that hamlet will be bound to revenge, but at no point does the ghost say: you MUST kill claudius. what he must do is honor is father and restore denmark's good name, actually protect it. literally HOWSOMEVER THOU PURSUES this act -- it must be pursued, but it doesn't have to end in murder? am i...am i reading this wrong. ohhh my god.
