Square this circle for me:
HAMLET is Hamlet’s father. Claudius, HAMLET’s own brother, kills Hamlet’s father. Hamlet comes home to mourn his father. Hamlet wants to kill Claudius to avenge his father. He accidentally kills Polonius, Laertes’ father. Laertes comes home to mourn his father. Laertes wants to kill Hamlet to avenge his father. Laertes kills Hamlet, who killed Laertes’ father while trying to avenge his own father. Hamlet kills Laertes too.
That, and a skull, and a girl, and a mom, and a whole bunch of clowns.
Back to chapter one.
