Benvolio: Just... Why?

Benvolio: Just... why?

Mercutio: I get asked that a lot and I find that the answer is often ’I thought it would be funny’.

We dont talk enough abt the fact that Horatio knows ALLLLLLLL the gossip in Elsinore

Explain the lyrics of "Ophelia" please!

YES OK SO the main thing I always talk abt is how when they say “You’ve been on my mind, girl, since the flood,” they’re probably (definitely) talking abt how the whole court falls apart after she drowns because she has all of Denmark in her shoulders and doesn’t even know it (that is, until Act IV). Another line that really hits is “I don’t feel nothing at all, and you don’t feel nothing small.” Ahhhhhh! if that isn’t Hamlet and Ophelia then I don’t know what is. Hamlet slowly losing his sense of feelings for others (his carelessness towards Polonius’ death, for example) (everyone but Horatio, although that’s another story), while Ophelia feels everything very strongly as she descends into madness. “’Honey, I love you,’ that’s all she wrote,” shows so well that all she wanted anyone to know was that she loved the people around her, and wanted to do her best to prove that, that’s all. She only wanted that, and even when she goes insane, she still thinks of other people (when she informs Laertes of their father’s death). “When I was younger, I should’ve known better.” Well if that’s not Hamlet’s regrets at the end of the play then I don’t know what is.

”And you don’t feel no remorse.” Ophelia unapologetically stands up to the court that beat her down, used her, and never appreciate.

“You’ve been on my mind, girl, like a drug.” In the second half of Act V, Scene I, the only thing on Hamlet’s mind (other than the burning desire to kick Laertes’ ass) is Ophelia. “I got a new girlfriend, he feels like he’s on top.” I think this line (especially because it’s said near the beginning of the song) is reminiscent of the fact that Hamlet doesn’t really care that he broke Ophelia’s heart in Act III in one of the cruelest ways possible.

That’s not all the lyrics but I’m drawing a blank right now, so let me know if there’s a specific line that should be covered!

Thinking abt that essay that was written in 1881 by Edward Vining that proposed a romantic relationship between Hamlet and Horatio and it was okay bc “hamlet was a girl raised to be a boy bc Politics”

and a MOVIE was made for it

I think Van Helsing would beat the shit outta Victor Frankenstein honestly

Victor: this place WISHES it was Geneva

Henry: I wish THIS was Geneva

Victor: no

Okay I love Henry with my entire heart but I do have one major criticism

He has a bad taste in mountains

Like when they pass through the Lake District in England and he says "I could pass my life here and not miss the mountains and lakes of Geneva"

Are you telling me he'd exchange this

For these molehills?

Like sorry but

Flat, boring

Stunning, amazing, so high you can nearly see the curvature of the Earth

Even Victor agrees it's just discount Geneva
