Episode 21: Sullied Flesh. Hamlet Act 1


Listen Later

In the second scene of the play we meet most of the main characters except for Ophelia, because, you know, women don't matter. Claudius belittles Hamlet and sets himself up for an ugly ending. Silly adulterous Dane. 

We talk a bit about incest. Sorry. Kind of important to the play and equally disturbing to the Elizabethans as it is to the rest of us. And then Hamlet is off to meet a ghost!
