I adore Hamlet the play, but not so much Hamlet the prince. We were just talking about this today in class! The play's amazing but nobody, absolutely nobody (except, hilariously, the broody emo kid in the corner), seems to actually like the character of Hamlet. People like Ophelia and Laertes a lot better.
He whirls around and barks, "I am not mad!", to which Henry dryly says something along the lines of, "Yes, and the most convincing way to demonstrate that is to yell it at a total stranger." Victor doesn't get it. I think I need to see this. Particularly because, you know, Branagh and Frankenstein. Didn't even know that existed.
