Though it might be fun to flog Chris, I agree with him. Hamlet talked to himself and contemplated being, family, life, death, love, and what it means to be noble, honorable, etc. etc. etc. I also think in TPG (though I have probably interpreted this wrong) that Khaavrens narration does a parody on Hamlet (particularly Hamlets introductory narration during Hamlet/Ophelia's "famous" scene in Act III) when the friends are walking toward/leaving Redface(?)(can't remember at the moment) and Khaavern is thinking/talking to himself. If I am wrong about Mr. Brust's intentions with that scene (and I could find the passage later to explain my thinking, AFB right now) then I still think that passage in TPG is extremely reminiscent of this scene and Hamlet's contemplations on life, perhaps it was just not intended to be so...therefore, fellow strange one (Chris) ;) I have to agree, Tiassa. So, what were Horatio? Ophelia? ~Holly~ @>-,'----- (who promises to become less serious this moment and is *attempting* to take part in this discussion to get in a better mood as this day has been dragging) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
