people give hamlet grief for being indecisive but to be entirely fair to the guy, he does get around to killing someone. like he has two major hangups, ‘can i trust this ghost’ and 'does sending claudius to heaven count as revenge’, both of which are pretty reasonable, and once he’s cleared those hurdles the next thing he does is stab someone through a curtain. and idk about you but i feel like 'accidentally killing your ex-girlfriend’s innocent father’ is enough to make you think twice about your next murder attempt, even without the distraction of being exiled to england, tricking your ex-best friends into sending themselves to their deaths, and getting kidnapped by pirates

The first rule of tragedy is to be yourself. The second of rule of tragedy is to be literally anyone else. The third rule is that however much you try there is no escaping being yourself forever.

The thing about standing ovations is that they are like after care for actors: it’s ok that you dressed up and played pretend for two hours! Everyone liked it! No one thought it was weird!

i like to believe that ophelia’s madness gave her a kind of meta knowledge of the plot— that she saw the tragic ending coming, knew that hamlet’s indecision would be his hamartia, that she realised gertrude and claudius were both poisoned with corruption from the beginning and instead of the customary funeral goers laying flowers at a grave, it was Ophelia— mad, at death’s door, about to die in less than 2 scenes— who handed flowers to the king, queen and protagonist as if the dead girl was mourning the living
