Paradise Lost is my favourite poem and I hope to read it again soon with a more focused eye on its many references to classical literature.

Anon doesn't understand how a character can be in stage if they are dead, clearly. He is very puzzled whey everyone is acting as though hamlet's father is not alive.

Hamlet is a giant optical illusion, the words make you think there's a story there, when there is no substance in it, shit just happens with the words, there's no themes in Hamlet, it's not content in the traditional sense
