I want to know if this is a genuine question. Is Hamlet asking because he really wants to know or is he just switching tactics for setting Osric up?
It’s funny to think of people as having a weapon. Like – in Dungeons and Dragons, it’s perfectly logical for everyone to have a weapon. But for human beings to specialize in different weapons? It’s a little funny. And also not at all funny.
I mean – what’s my weapon? I’ve taken some stage combat – what was my favorite way to hurt someone?
Oh, my feet, for sure. I love a good kick. Followed only by a punch.
But also I like a weapon that’s not usually a weapon – a pen, for example – both to write something devastating but also to poke in an eye.
