Why does Hamlet confide in Horatio and not anyone else? Here’s my theory! Also, NYC’ers, here’s the production of Hamlet that inspired me to re-examine this particular set of related moments in the play that add up to Hamlet and Horatio’s unique relationship. Take a peek, it’s a production very worth seeing. http://www.theshakespeareforum.org/




S’more Hamlet drawings. The class thoroughly enjoyed them. <333
That is one spectacular Laertes face.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him,
Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He
hath borne me on his back a thousand times. And now how abhorred
in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those
lips that I have kiss’d I know not how oft. Where be your gibes
now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment that
were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your
own grinning? Quite chap- fall’n? Now get you to my lady’s
chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this
favour she must come.
