Later, we have the spooky ghost, but also Horatio recounting Hamlet Sr's military history in a segment that goes on a bit too long. I don't think much about this segment usually, but there's a bit of mirroring here - Horatio starts the play by telling the story of Hamlet Sr, and is tasked with telling the story of Hamlet Jr at the end. Given the little bit we get about how Hamlet will be remembered (more on that later), how accurate is this portrait of Hamlet Sr, or any of Hamlet's description of his father throughout the play for that matter? Did Hamlet Sr. have this much power over Hamlet in life as he does as a ghost? The status quo changed dramatically shortly before the start of the play, and we don't know what these relationships were like beforehand. Did Hamlet always hate his uncle or is it just because of the re-marriage? On the ghost, Bernardo suggests that it appeared because the current military build-up in Denmark is due to wars that Hamlet Sr started. They are figuratively and literally haunted by the past. There are decisions to be made about how to stage the ghost that are not entirely straightforward. In this scene, it's seems pretty concrete, as multiple characters see it, though later scenes are inconsistent with that, which perhaps goes back to the fracturing of the Reformation. The play doesn't comes down on whether the ghost is demon or spirit, and Hamlet switches back and forth over the course of it. As the state and the king are one, Denmark is described as being cold and dead while the king is a ghost. Furthermore, in this scene, the characters constantly say the ghost is like the king, referring to Hamlet Sr, but it also works if referring to the Claudius. Hamlet later gets a lot out of speaking about Claudius as if he's already dead in the ground. Both Claudius and the ghost are both resemble a king, both full of sin and corruption, and both are dead. Performances that have the two played by the same actor draws the connection even more explicitly. --- https://imgur.com/l15wP6m this is a world... where BKSheikah eats gurus ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first lines of Shakespeare I ever read were "Bernardo?" "He." For some reason they've always stuck with me.

3.1
4.5 I think the staging in David Tennant's version of Hamlet is my favorite that I've seen as far as the ghost goes. Manages to be downright frightening when it could've come off as silly/campy. --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Not changing this sig until CM Punk returns to the WWE ... Copied to Clipboard!

tennant version also does the same actor thing for claudius and the ghost. i've only seen that one once - maybe i'll revisit.
Remaining: *3.1 - "to be or not to be"; nunnery 3.4 - Hamlet berates Gertrude; kills Polonius; ghost appears to Hamlet only *5.2 - Hamlet explains how he got R&G killed; duel; everyone dies; Fortinbras becomes king i think i need a rule change. --- https://imgur.com/l15wP6m this is a world... where BKSheikah eats gurus ...
