philosophex:
Horatio sighed. Honestly, while there may be a reason behind it, this way of handling it was getting to be rather excessive. It wasn’t helpful. In fact, it was making things worse. But no, Hamlet was stubborn and sulky.
“Yes, you have to. You’ve been at this for days, and you need to actually get up and leave your bed at some point. Now, with all due respect, oh noble prince, get out of bed and put on a pair of pants.”
"You’re shooting my plan to waste away in the neck, you know.” He says this without making any move to entertain Horatio’s demands. He’s got a point -- he does have to leave at some point. The idea is, he will: on a stretcher. When he dies. Call him melodramatic, but it’s the best he’s got.
