"If the name Hamlet comes from the play's sources, one thing that is distinctive about Shakespeare's naming in the play is the doubling of the name Hamlet for both the dead father and the living son. In none of the sources is the burden of the past, the psychic overlap between the two generations, so stressed as in the play. [...] Old King Hamlet symbolizes the past: familial, political, cultural and temporal. And his appearance pulls Hamlet away from the future and into the past.

In the play's second scene we see two young men setting off on different courses. Laertes, son of Polonius, requests permission to go to France and is granted it [...]; Hamlet, by contrast, allows himself to be persuaded to stay at home rather than return to university, and in that decision he fixes himself for ever as a child."

—Dr. Emma Smith, This is Shakespeare (emphasis mine)

awesommeee words words words <- idk if i actually have used this as a quote tag on my Shakespeare blog. but it is on my main hamlet prince hamlet

people talk a lot about how most things in the play could have been avoided if hamlet had just killed claudius the first time he had the chance, but not enough people talk about how at least four people (rosencrantz, guildenstern, laertes, gertrude) could have lived if claudius had just killed hamlet when he first decided he wanted to

claudius: I am the king and in charge of stuff. my nephew, whom I wish to make stop breathing, just killed a man. do I have him officially executed or otherwise punished?

claudius: no. then my wife might not like me. I will set several traps to kill him, ones that won’t implicate me. that way my wife will still like me.

claudius: *lets gertrude die in one of the traps*

literally. at the core hamlet is about two guys who want to kill each other but keep putting it off. and everything else Hamlet claudius Gertrude
