Why isn't there a Hamlet playlist that is actually fun? There are so many playlists about the sad and tragic vibe of it, which is valid because it is sad and tragic, but what about the silly parts?
What about Polonius who just won't shut up? What about Ros and Guil who literally have one braincell together? What about the pirates? What about Hamlet himself? He may be very philosophic and have the sad boy aesthetic™️, but he is the stupidest character in the play.
Hamlet is such a hilarious play if you think of it and i just want to see its sillyness in a playlist

I think it’s hilarious how, in David Tennant’s “Hamlet,” they were like, “How do we show madness in the character’s costume?” And someone said, “I’ve got it! We take away their shoes!” And everyone was like, “Yeah, that’s it!!”

I wanted to draw David Warner’s Hamlet in his honor. So here’s the artwork! Thank you!
“Good night, sweet Prince. Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.

Everyone, we can fix Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet if we just switch the leads.
Romeo wakes up in Hamlet's body and meets the ghost of "his" father telling him to kill his uncle. So if course Romeo just fucking does it, because he never considers consequences, and then gets onto more important shit, like romancing Ophelia, political fallout be damned! But given that he's the son of the murdered king, he'd probably end up on top.
Hamlet wakes up as Romeo and is told that he can't marry the love of his life because his family hates her family. Instead of killing Tybalt and getting Merucio murdered, he's planning elaborate meet-cutes for the two warring families. He's putting on plays about blood feuds and how to overcome them. He either succeeds in bringing the families together or bores Juliet enough with his indecision that the glow wears off and she moves on; both positive options. Everybody lives.

I need to know what people think about this question that has been bothering me for years.
Because i just can't find any reference to it in the play (and believe me, i once reread it only because of that and found nothing)

My favorite Shakespeare thing is when he writes a major plot point but just has someone tell us about it to save on special effects.
Hamlet gets kidnapped by pirates but we don’t see that part. It’s a letter.
The Oracle of Delphi shows up in the Winter’s Tale and rather than do all the special effects required to make that adequately supernatural, two guys come on stage and go “woah that was cool”
There’s a big storm on the night that Duncan is murdered and we learn about this when half the cast of Macbeth says “sure was stormy last night”
Shakespeare, the OG low-budget director taking the easy way out.

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways
