reading hamlet live updates: (method of reading: aloud, for the first time, with my 8 year old sister who cannot pronounce half the words or understand what's going on.)
you're laughing. they used the funeral pork as the wedding meal and you're laughing.
ophelia really said: thanks laertes <3 if you're mad about me having more of a sex life than you go cry to dad about it and stop bothering me <33
I love how ghosty hamlet daddy got a limited time to spend with the living and he spent half of it describing how the poison he got dumped in his ear turned his blood to chunks.
ooh idk why but it's giving me jane austen vibes with the "discredit my son's name but only a little bit"
wow king + queen just got their (adopted) child paid friends. how loving <3
POLONIUS;;; he's funny. but in a weird creepy old man way funny? I picture him looking like a less slovenly denethor (from LOTR), which is weird. "brevity is the soul of wit" is my favorite quote so far, however. and love how straight after that he goes into the whole "yo son crazy" speech.
hamlet's crazy really comes out with polonius, but not gonna lie this is where I start to like his character the most. ya boy's funny that's all I'm gonna say
"The world's grown honest." "Then doomsday's near." EPIC
I love all of Hamlet's interactions with people so far. the snark is on full blast and he keeps trying to have philosophical discussions that don't work out.
"My lord, I have news to tell you--" "mY lOrD i HaVe NeWs To TeLl yOuuu"
ooh he sneaky sneaky. great plan u theater nerd (affectionate)
catch me shuffling off that mortal coil
GET THEE TO A NUNNERY;;;;; 😱😱😱😱 don't know quite what to feel about this scene yet but I feel like hamlet knew that the king and polonius were there so that makes it 10x funnier
not hamlet telling the actors how to do their job
"Here, sweet lord, at your service." I SEE YOU HORATIO
how DRAMATIC <3 hamlet really said "I'LL TURN INTO A PIPE IF YOU WANNA PLAY ME THAT BAD"
hamlet: darn he just prayed he won't be going to h-e-double hockey sticks if I kill 'im now the king at that very moment: hOW do I PRAY uhhhh MURDER MOST FOUL no that's not right ummm aaaa
wait a second hamlet WHO are you keeping in your heart's core? your heart of hearts, so to speak?
AND THEY WERE SCHOOL FELLOWS
hamlet has no idea how to use a sword does he.
hamlet: *thrusts rapier wildly through big ol tapestry* polonius, aforementioned rat: oop he got me *falls and dies* hamlet: huh. what
does he just. carry around two pictures of his dead dad and his uncle in the random chance that he's in a broom closet with his mother so he can be like; DO YOU HAVE EYES. YOU MARRIED AN UGLY MAN DO YOU HAVE EYES
act 4.2 is the best thing that shakespeare has ever written fight me
I wish that Ophelia's death had happened on stage, but also the way that Gertrude described her death is just w o w. it reads almost like poetry, what with all the flower mentions and the imagery, and it's so so beautiful and really sad.
horatio and hamlet are just having a date in the graveyard huh? how romantic
WHY does this 'clown' keep throwing bones. how does he know whose bones they are. do they have lil stickers on them
