See, look at that boys, you can talk about love amongst yourselves! You don’t have to let the patriarchy suppress you! Look at this – Laertes talking about love – talking about Hamlet offering love and him receiving it – even though Hamlet didn’t even say anything about love just now.
I mean, sure, it’s all a bunch of bullshit because Laertes is actually about to kill him so he’s hella gonna wrong it – but talking about love is a step!
