So just found out where all the hamlet references come from...

Henry Irving. Who acted as many Shakespeare characters, including Hamlet.

Bram Stoker was his manager for decades.

Gott, ich habe dieses Foto von mir aus dem Jahr 1935 gefunden! Himmel, war ich da noch jung! Das Bild stammt von einer Inszenierung von 'Hamelt', wenn ich mich richtig erinnere!

Good Lord, I found this photo of me from 1935! Heavens, I was so young back then! The picture was taken during a production of 'Hamelt', if I remember correctly!

love your post about boxing being a metaphor for gay bdsm sex but i also want to acknowledge that "can you consent to being killed in the arena of boxing/any violent sport" is the central question of sports criminology (we love nuance)

yea i have absolutely acknowledged elsewhere that the boxing metaphor was poorly chosen bc of course the fact that boxing is a profession you are paid money for makes it fundamentally different from consensual unpaid sex innit. obvsies though i think it is really difficult to argue that stuff like boxing and mma wouldn't exist in some form without the financial incentives in there but i could have been clearer abt that in the post which unfortunatley does muddy my point in the end. Ah well they cant all be bangers

One second you’re saying “Talia is drowned by an implanted personality,” and the next moment you’re saying “Holy shit, Talia is Ophelia!”

#who are queue? what do queue want? #for once it’s not an incorrect quote #babylon 5 #b5 #talia winters #the tragedy of hamlet #hamlet #ophelia #look at me and tell me im wrong #I was saying ‘drowned’ and ‘Talia’ in the same sentence and then it hit me like a ton of bricks #I mean that would make Ivanova Hamlet #and when it comes to relationships— the right hand of vengeance is incredible at Analysis Paralysis— AKA Hamelt’s harmatia

that doctor in station 11 saying "the courage to bear witness to death is the job, the courage to be there" hit me so hard for some reason. the way the show revolves around the aftereffects of a pandemic and how our current pandemic is one of the main reasons i stopped being a doctor. the way my lack of courage to be there, how it slowly damaged me mentally, is one of the reasons i couldn't continue being a doctor. it all hits home so much.

#station eleven #and then hamelt in the middle of it all #this show is a masterpiece

What they won’t tell you about Benoit Blanc is that he was actually a theatre major. It was Phillip who was the one with the master’s degree in criminology.

While Benoit was reciting lines as Hamelt in an accent Philllip was so sure was fake, he was writing his thesis on the correlation between sociopathy and serial killers. It was pure chance they ended up stuck together as roommates. Even less so after they graduated and still continued to live together.

Phillip didn’t end up becoming a forensic scientist as planned— turns out you need a strong stomach when handling murder sites, so he settled for a public defender instead. Best in the field if he would say so himself. And while he never really shook off the eccentric yet oddly popular Benoit Blanc from his side, before he knew it, he was his closest friend.

Perhaps it was the long hours spent together in the common room as they silently focused on what was possibly their hundredth game of chess, the bonding over their love of Agatha Christie and whodunit movies, the bickering over who used up all the hot water; but at some point, they grew fond of each other’s company.

Neither was sure at what point they “defined the relationship.” Phillip is under the impression that it was when Blanc took him out to eat for the first time on Valentine’s day, while Blanc believes it was earlier, when Phillip got into a motorcycle accident and the hospital called him as his emergency contact. The point is, both are unable to recall a time when they weren’t together.

Perhaps Blanc owed his pursuit as a private investigator to Phillip. After all, it was his constant nitpicking at every mystery novel he read that allowed him to discover that crime-solving scratched that particular itch for adventure. And it was Blanc who helped Phillip realize he preferred helping out the underdog rather than focus on the who committed what. In the end, they wouldn’t have found where they are today if it weren’t for each other.

How Greif Devours Identity in Hamlet: An Informal Short Essay

Inspired by If We Were Villians, I took it upon myself to freshen up on my Shakespeare. So, last night I finished reading Hamlet for the first time since my freshman year of college! It was a trip to relive all of my old annotations and notes on the play, and to dive back into Shakespeare after such a long time. Thank Folger Shakespeare Library for footnotes!

A few things caught my attention, especially the theme of identity and grief being so intertwined. So let's talk about it for a moment~~

As somone who has experianced a little too much grief in my lifetime, it was cathartic to read Hamlet and appreciate others processing loss. Shakespeare, the master of words and human emotion that he is, has painted the transformative... if not transfiguring... powers of grief on the human mind. This is not exclusive to the character of Hamlet himself, though his madness is the center of the play, but includes all the characters.

Since I have made myself promise this will be a short essay, i'll localize my thoughts on a specific passage:

"Not where he eats, but where he is eaten. A certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only empoeror for diet. We fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots. Your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service-- two dishes but to one table. That's the end" (Act 4, Scene 3).

So, here's the thing... I took this a little differently than Shakespeare may have intended in this scene. The talk of the "worms" which feast on us when we are dead made me think of The Corpse Bride by Tim Burton.

In Emily's ear is a maggot that acts as her concience. He eats at her mind and replaces her thoughts with his own. I couldn't help but feel that is exactly what grief has done to these characters. Like worms, fattening upon each character, sorrow, revenge, fear, and guilt all crawl into the ears of the court and feast until there is nothing left.

For example, take Hamlet at the end of this play. Hamlet is "not where he eats," which would be an action of taking the King's life and digesting what has happened to his father, but ends "where he is eaten" by the guilt of not being able to override his character and seek revenge on Claudius until the last moment. Try as he might to change the course of fate (hah, get it course lol), the ending remains the same. Which leads to the line "two dishes but to one table."

We see this all throughout the novel as different sets of characters come to the table: Claudius x King Hamlet, Hamlet x Claudius, Hamlet x Mother, Opheilia x Hamlet, Laertes x Hamlet... etc. Even the lesser characters die in pairs like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Two lives devoured together at the same table.

I think this is an interesting way of looking at volitile emotions and understanding how people struggle to cope. Grief can eat at you, literally, and it not only leads to a physical deterioration but to a death of self. No matter how clever and careful you are going about it, no matter what reasons you have, acting against one's character will always eat at one's concience. Especially when you look around and see the other people in your life feasting on the same meal at the same table.

So while grief can feel like a worm in our minds, it's also more common among our companions than we see. Too blinded by our own struggles, we let emotions devour our sense of self, and can't see how our behavior reflects and is reflected back to us. We are what we eat, in all senses.

Which is why I think that Hamelt is an exceptional play on how emotions can play (or prey) on us!

there are more things in heaven and earth fellatio or whatever the fuck hamelt said

[emyashrou]

sure, Hamlet is great bc it's an intricate piece that deals with questions that were very ahead of its time, as well as questions and problems that have plagued us since the dawn of humanity and will continue to haunt ad infinitum, because it's so full of brilliant parallels and metaphors, and because it weaves all its themes into each other in a seamless, seemingly perfect way. Because it deals with the universal issues of justice, vengeance, death and the inevitability of it and what we do with our limited time on earth, and arguably also about obsession and devotion. it draws inspiration from the ancient greek tragedies¹ and some elements from them Because it was a precursor to Existentialist and even Absurdist² thought in some ways. Because it is also very ars-poetic about theater and finds a way to weave it seamlessly into the play and its themes.

BUT its also great bc it captures very well the angst and frustration of being young and lost, feeling that something in your surroundings is wrong, rotten and unjust (maybe even edging closer to nihilism and misanthropy), and feeling like all older and more powerful people around you are either consciously acting against you or completely misunderstand you and your plight.

[sidenotes under the cut]

such as the added gravitas of sin/injustice when its done against family which seems like an inspiration from Antigone; or Hamlet's hubris in refusing to kill a praying Claudius (who, according to Hamelt, does not deserve to die praying and get into heaven) being part of his downfall (albeit this specific reading is a bit superficial on my part and is obviously not the major reason for his downfall).

for example, with a stretch you could see how "to be or not to be - that is the question" (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1) could be seen as precursor to "There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide" (Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus) - Hamlet (the character) deals with the absurd throughout the play.
