Hamlet crack
Excerpt from English homework:
"(...)
If we stray into the realm of off-the-wall suggestions about Hamlet, we might want to consider the idea that Hamlet is really a woman raised as a man. Her troubles stem from the fact that she is in love with Horatio. We probably wouldn't pay any attention to this interpretation if there was not a film based upon it, an early silent movie. In the concluding scene, as Horatio grasps the dying Hamlet in his arms, he advertently clutches her secondary sexual characteristics. At that point the written script reads something to the effect "Ah, Hamlet, I have discovered your tragic secret."
If you find that suggestion interesting you might want to investigate the suggestion that the key people in the play are Horatio's wife or girl friend Felicity ("If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, / Absent thee from felicity a while", the dying Hamlet urges Horatio) or Hamlet's invisible Irish companion, Pat (to whom Hamlet is clearly speaking when he sees Claudius at prayer, "Now might I do it pat. ...") And so on. "
Omg, I must LOL at this forever. oO Some people are really hilariously witty in their sarcasm, I must say.
