okay so in history today my teacher brought up this theory about hamlet that fucking blew my entire mind

THE GHOST IS NOT A GHOST

IT IS A DEMON

CLAUDIUS IS INNOCENT AND THE GHOST/DEMON THING IS JUST GOADING HAMLET INTO GETTING EVERYONE KILLED

apparently renaissance cultural superstition dictated that demons couldn’t speak until they had been asked their names three times (which hamlet does to the ghost before the ghost responds) and also they only come out at night and vanish when the cock crows

like the ghost in hamlet

i don’t know what to do with this

i am wrecked
