**Time/Room:** 3:00–4:00 PM • Central Library — **L6 North (690)**

💀 **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)

**When & where**
Sun, **Nov 16**, **3:00–4:00 PM** • Central Library — **L6 North (690)**
**Cap:** 12–15 + waitlist • Speak or listen—both fine.
