[shouldtheydivorce]

Reason:

The circumstances surrounding the marriage are suspicious. Gertrude married Claudius almost immediately after her first husband, Hamlet Sr, gets murdered by his brother, who's no other than Claudius himself. A good majority of Gertrude's character is ambiguous and left up to personal interpretation, so there's the possibility that Claudius forced her to marry him. And if you want another character's opinion on the marriage, Gertrude's son ain't having it and is pissed off about his mom and uncle marrying, especially so soon after his dad's passing, which honestly, fair enough.

Fan Casting Modern Shakespeare

Adaptation: Modern take Hamlet with a Succession meets The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) vibes

Hamlet, the depressed, conflicted, irresponsible procrastinating son of an elite family, tasked with seeking out revenge on his uncle for the murder of his father, whose memory is haunting him. Played by Luke Newton

Ophelia, Hamlets love interest. A delicate young woman driven to madness by grief and despair. Played by Anya Taylor Joy, Taylor Russell, or Mia Goth

Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother. Ambiguously played as either an accomplice or a pawn in the murder of her husband, she quickly remarries her husband’s killer to maintain her status. Played by Gillian Anderson or Rachel Weisz

Claudius, Hamlet’s stepfather, uncle, and father’s murderer. The villain of the story but a smooth talker. Played by Daniel Craig or Jared Harris

What Hamlet Characters Would Do When They Encounter Shitty Drivers

Hamlet: Hamlet actually doesn’t drive. He’s driven around by the Danish equivalent of the Secret Service. He DOES have the authority to arrest said shitty driver if he so pleases.

Horatio: He would mumble a few choice words under his breath, but nothing much more. He has more important things to do.

Ophelia: She’d be pretty mad, but much like Horatio, she wouldn’t honk. She refuses to let a few assholes ruin her day. A middle finger is the farthest she’ll usually go.

Laertes: Has the unfortunate habit of road-raging. It’s something he’s working on, but he has no qualms about cussing out a bad driver and honking. Learn how to drive, bitch!

Claudius: Has the bad driver executed.

Gertrude: Scoffs at the audacity and exiles them.

Polonius: Practices meditation to regulate his anger towards the driver and encourages his kids to do the same. It doesn’t work, needless to say.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Are the shitty drivers ^-^

you could make the costumes for Queen Gertrude from the 1990 film Hamlet?

I tried to find a file for it but was unsuccessful. I'll keep my eyes open but my hopes are low tbh.

Hamlet Cast Starbucks Orders 🫶

Hamlet: Venti caramel frappe with ungodly amounts of shots. Sweets for the sweet prince.

Horatio: Tall matcha latte. Warm in winter and iced in summer.

Ophelia: Seasonal (and specifically spring and summer) drinks! But her all-year is a peach iced tea lemonade :D

Laertes: He loves anything hazelnut! Will drink hot drinks in 100°F weather like a MONSTER.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: They get a cake pop each :3 and maybe some hot cocoa

Gertrude: Mocha, generally with oat milk. But honestly, she only like to feel and smell it. She subsequently gives it to Claudius.

Claudius: Gertrude’s mocha. But secretly, he hates coffee in general. He doesn’t have the heart to tell her that, so he hands it to Polonius behind her back.

Polonius: Gertrude’s mocha. Claudius tells him he bought it just for Polonius, and he never had a reason to question it :)
