It's interesting to a point, but it can turn so ridiculous. Like, people are going on about how "'tis an untended garden that goes to seed/Things rank and gross possess it merely" is a metaphor for Gertrude's body and sexuality and Hamlet's issues with same (OR NOT, KTHX), and I'm just like, ". . . ooooor Gertrude and Claudius just finished telling Hamlet to quit grieving for his dad already, so he's really, really pissed at them and subsequently being a bitch?"

I mean. I know it's Hamlet, but come on now. There is in fact such a thing as overanalyzing EVERYTHING OH MY GOD.
