the play hamlet by william shakespeare does not begin with the appearance of the titular character, but rather, the appearance of a ghost who has a frightening interaction characters who, for the most part, will not show up again. this scene serves the purpose of showing something strange and unnatural is afoot, paving the way for hamlet to encounter this being later in the play. yet this strategy of introducing a ghastly character through a short introductory sequence is not limited to 16th century plays; it appears also in television shows such as scooby doo and supernatural. in this essay

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

"not my circus, not my monkeys" is probably my favorite expression. i might plausibly own a circus, i could be a ringmaster, and i may in fact even have an ape or two in my possession! but these apes? they are raucous and filthy and whatever miserable excuse for a circus trained them should be ashamed of itself. i'm a professional. my apes would never. i take no responsibility. sham circus.
