WeekXI-No Secrets (for once)
It seems clear that when Hamlet says to Ophelia,"The players cannot keep counsel-they'll tell all." he's means that they reveal the truth and not hold back. The question is, why? In his new state of mind he has taken a liking to mind games, predictions, and secrets. Which may be it, because the play does show both his mother's betrayal, and his fathers murder. is that really the only possibility though. Could be it possible that he's trying to give reason to his madness for Ophelia? later he does exclaim that,"Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum." perhaps this is just his insanity kicking in, but it's still an interesting thought.

Not seeing the short three-sentence "SEE".
ReplyDeleteIf not for that, this would be a great post.
NS
I don't think we have to do the SEE. We just have to spend about 10min and throgh out some ideas.

ReplyDeleteI liked your ideas.

Nice job hiting on Hamlet's love of mind games. You lost my attention about halfway through, though. Try to stay on topic!
