  This Shakespeare guy seems pretty good, can’t wait to read the sequel Hamlet 2: The Hammening.

  This is my favorite essay of yours so far—the pure joy when you’re talking about Shakespeare’s writing is *contagious*.

  So many things change over hundreds of years, but in some ways I&apos;m almost comforted that human&apos;s existential dread and grief stays the same

  I was listening to this while driving and got stuck behind a car with a vanity plate that said, &quot;GERTRUD3&quot; ... so that was a weird coincidence

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSi5k8Feew&amp;t=2784">46:24</a> - a sad note on the capriciousness of Hamlet here: people have pointed out that the only way Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would go on to deliver the letter anyways and be killed is if they did not know what its contents were. So Hamlet has created a circumstance where if his friends were true and loyal, they die, but if they knew about the letter and had betrayed him, they will likely survive.
