unfortunately for someone with 2 years of theology education i don't actually have anything particularly insightful to say about the theology of hamlet HOWEVER one of the turning points in terms of religion to me was when hamlet said in 5.2 "there's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will" & "we defy augury / there’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow". since hamlet attended wittenberg which is the ultimate protestant school then was confronted with his father's ghost in catholic purgatory, the christianity in the play is pretty ambiguous, but those lines make me think hamlet is ultimately protestant. i'm not smart enough to say anything about how this shapes the fact that everyone else seems to be catholic but i do think hamlet's apparent 'transformation' after returning to denmark and being at peace with god's providence towards the end is definitely showing a protestant agenda. ultimately hamlet was being performed to an anglican audience in elizabethan england so there would be inherent protestant bias anyways i think.

weeks having a prime number of days is fucking pissing me off. wanna do something every other day? every three days? four, etc? can't use day-of-the-week to remember which days to do it on cuz it'll always be switching around. useless bullshit. joe biden needs to make days 12 weeks long and add some kind of glue to the tap water to make it sticky

hey.
[image description: two sections of text from shakespeare's Hamlet. the first reads:
BARNARDO  How now, Horatio, you tremble and look pale. Is not this something more than fantasy? What think you on ’t?
"you tremble and look pale" is underlined in blue. the second reads:
HAMLET  Heaven make thee free of it. I follow thee.— I am dead, Horatio.—Wretched queen, adieu.— You that look pale and tremble at this chance, That are but mutes or audience to this act, Had I but time (as this fell sergeant, Death, Is strict in his arrest), O, I could tell you— But let it be.—Horatio, I am dead. Thou livest; report me and my cause aright To the unsatisfied.
"you that look pale and tremble at this chance" is underlined in blue. end description]

the inability to act…the inability to stop acting…the misogyny…the anger at his mother…constantly questioning relationships…(attempts at) elaborate social engineering…yapping…
Nobody understands the struggles of being a teenage girl better than Prince Hamlet of Denmark

while I'm talking about Edward and Lydia, I'm not sure Griffin ever got razzed enough for creating a trio of three siblings and then having explicitly the youngest be the one who fucking died in the start-of-darkness motivating backstory. you can tell how good a job he did at making the atmosphere tense in that exposition scene, because otherwise you know Justin would've done a whole bit about it
