To be honest, others have done a better job of covering this than me. Luckily, I've linked to their pages.

You've got to love that URL!
I find it fascinating that he didn't want to write about a dithering, indecisive Hamlet (too boring, I expect) and decided to write about one that does exactly what Daddy tells him to do even though he knows it's wrong. Spineless is apparently more interesting than conflicted.Posted 11th September 2011 at 08:18 AM by Teresa Edgerton - Oops, didn't see this until now. Thanks, Teresa- I'll probably end up using this for a follow up post.Posted 20th September 2011 at 08:06 AM by J-WO
