I think maybe the most important thing about Hamlet is that the line between sanity and madness has so much more to do with societal expectation than we want to admit

The question of whether Hamlet and/or Ophelia are “truly” mad can’t even be asked unless you’re willing to grapple with whether their behavior—as erratic and ugly and confusing and incomprehensible as it might seem—is nevertheless a reasonable response to their situation, and that calling them “mad” is politically expedient for Claudius and Gertrude.
Grief and loneliness and fear can all make your brain and you behave in buckwild ways, it’s true, but it’s also about the crushing expectation that you won’t show any signs emotional disregulation, that you’ll continue to be a sober and rational and put-together noble when your world is falling to pieces around you. Whoever can pretend better gets to be called sane.
…god but you could do something fascinating with a production where Gertrude vehemently denies she can see the ghost while she is visibly and obviously staring directly at it
too bad it could never be one cuz telltales gone 😢
What if TOH was a Telltale game.
Stage production of Hamlet where everything is played exactly as it should be except in the middle of it, Horatio and Hamlet passionately make out with no explanation. This is never brought up again.
