Topic	Save My Hamlet Scene - Day 17
PumpkinCoach 12/01/18 11:55:03 PM #7:	Remaining: 1.5 - ghost describes murder, Hamlet swears revenge; oath 2.2 - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern; fishmonger; players arrive; "rogue and peasant slave" *3.1 - "to be or not to be"; nunnery 5.2 - Hamlet explains how he got R&G killed; duel; everyone dies; Fortinbras becomes king alright, an actual write-up: The barrier between life and death has been porous from the beginning, but increasingly so towards the end. There is something rotten in Denmark, and here it is literalized as Hamlet and Horatio stand in a mass grave. Yorick is brougt back to life through words, as Hamlet begins his speech with remembrance and ends in the present tense, speaking to the skull directly. Ophelia is revised through Hamlet's claim. Hamlet redefining his relationship with Ophelia when she's dead foreshadows his own fate and is maybe even a bit karmic, but more on that later. Then, of course, the barrier is porous as Laertes and Hamlet leap into the grave before their deaths. The clowns, as they do, speak truth through humour and discuss some major themes. Has Hamlet, like Ophelia, been allowing himself to be taken by the currents? The water analogy suggests two truths that look the same - Either Ophelia drowned herself, or water drowned her. Water is fate or fortune, and if taken to its logical conclusion, calls into question if we have any free will at all. This question is subverted when, officially, Ophelia's death was an accident and she is to have a Christian burial. Hamlet has been searching for a meaningful death, and through it a meaningful life, but increasingly it seems out of one's control to define themselves. Hamlet going off at Laerte's show of grief puts us back in inky cloak territory. He's talking about himself moreso than Laertes, and it comes off like an unutterable warning to a fellow traveler from someone who's been down that road. He lists all the ridiculous things he could do, but in the end what he'll really do is rant. --- https://imgur.com/l15wP6m this is a world... where BKSheikah eats gurus <cite>PumpkinCoach posted [p:913390046] in Save My Ha...
