Paul Mescal and Noah Jupe as Hamlet & the Ghost of Hamlet’s Father in Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet”

“Hamlet, here, on this stage, is two people, the young man, alive, and the father, dead. He is both alive and dead. Her husband has brought him back to life, in the only way he can. As the ghost talks, she sees that her husband, in writing this, in taking the role of the ghost, has changed places with his son. He has taken his son’s death and made it his own; he has put himself in death’s clutches, resurrecting the boy in his place.”

—Maggie O’Farrell “Hamnet” (2020).

“If I know, I know in a part of myself that’s a secret,” she says in a barely audible voice. Kamil smiles slightly—she is trying to speak poetically, the way they speak in the country. That part of the old culture will survive. The language is not fully innocent of what its users purveyed, but it is no guiltier than a gun. Both have no will and infinite power. “No man caused me more pain than your father,” Kamil says. “And yet, would I be here without him? I doubt it. I think about him all the time.”
