The Hamlet Project

Oh sweet Hamlet. We see how you failed to seize the throne. You clearly have no idea how leaders can be or what wars are fought over.
Claudius would know that “the Polack” would seize any opportunity to engage the Norwegian army – and Hamlet Sr. – who sledded the pole-ax/pollacks on the ice…he too knew the ways of war, I’d wager.
Hamlet, though, is a logical, intelligent, reflective man and sees this situation as a person would, not a politician or warrior.
