Book Description
Hamlet kills Polonius thinking he is Claudius. Yet he cannot kill Claudius. Why? Hamlet, angry, tells Ophelia: “Take thee to a nunnery!” [nunnery: Renaissance slang for brothel] “There [in Heaven] is no shuffling; there the action lies in his true nature, and we ourselves compelled, even to the teeth and forehead of our faults, to give in evidence.” —King Claudius “Why does Hamlet attend the German university at Wittenberg? Why study at a university at all? An incorrigible symbolist, Shakespeare must secretly import what he does not openly impart.” Contrast resolute avenger Laertes, who would “cut [Hamlet’s] throat i’ the church”! Shakespeare understood the Freudian slip centuries before Dr. Freud in Vienna. Twice he employs it to give us hints. Queen Gertrude to her son Hamlet: “What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me? ... Alas, he’s mad!” “Prince Hamlet is a disillusioned idealist, a vital key to his generous, passionate, and tragically conscientious character.” Camelot—“Shakespeare specifically ties the assassination of Hamlet to the death of King Arthur and the collapse of the fellowship of the Round Table.”

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mystery of Hamlet: An Attempt to Solve an Old Problem As among the myriads who since the days Of Homer, have attempted to crystallize in human words the ever varying tales of human life and love, one stands out pre eminent and incomparable, so among his works there rises one, the undisputed crown of all, with an irresistible fasci nation, attracting even those to whom the language in which it was written is an unknown tongue. With an incredible plot, and a hero who, weak and vacillating, continually does those things which he ought not to do and leaves undone those things which he ought to have done, there is yet revealed a depth Of human feel ing, and a knowledge of the inmost springs that move the puppets whom we call mankind, before which humanity bows. With other writers their characters are frequently but embodied qualities, moved by one emotion. The heroine is the embodiment of love, and lives but to love, alone.
