💀 Hamlet — Grief, Ghosts & Delay
(DM me for a free modern English Translation PDF)
Please read the summary provided.
A prince meets a ghost and spends the rest of the play trying to act without becoming a murderer. We’ll keep this focused on why Hamlet stalls, what grief does to thinking, and how surveillance and performance twist a court—and a person.
What we’ll explore
- Grief → paralysis vs. clarity
- Sincerity vs. performance (who’s “acting” most?)
- Revenge, justice, and moral nausea
- What the play still gets right about power and spying
How we’ll do it
- 5‑min context, then guided questions → open floor
- No in‑room reading; discussion only (I can provide modern‑English help)
