I like the slight anthropomorphihization of the sword. Here it is with the ability to LIKE Hamlet, I mean who wouldn’t? What self-respecting sword wouldn’t nestle itself happily in the grip of Hamlet’s hand?
“I like Hamlet!” it says as it makes itself at home in his hand. “I always dreamed that it would be Hamlet that would choose me and here I am, the luckiest sword on the sword table!”
“Gee whiz, I am one lucky sword. What a good day. Hamlet is the best guy. What a Prince. Literally! Get it? He’s the Prince of Denmark and also a prince of a man. I mean. He is the best. Best guy. Gosh, I like this guy. Such a guy. Lucky sword with the best guy.”
