Hello /lit/ I was cast as Hamlet in a production of Shakespeare's play, I forget the title, anyway I was wondering if you could give me any deep insights into his character I could base my portrayal around?

some interpretation relies on oedipus complex with gertrude but it's safe to say he is bend on vengeance, the schopenhauerian death drive

You forget the title of the Shakespeare production where you play... Hamlet?
Really?

Imagine an angry teenager living in a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest asylum and doing analysis with Freud was put into Lion King's storyline but with Seventh Seal style, while working on a modern meta play as he meditates on nihilism in a Tarantino movie that got censored real hard and stutters and hesitates in full eloquence.

That's Hamlet

I hope you're not implying I'm American, or that this pitiful thread was a genuine attempt at sarcasm.

I once got banned for a day for posting this pic. I just had made it from a pic in that thread, there were no dubs related to anything but the mod decided I was breaking global rules.
