Wow! That’s usually how I end Hamlet. This time no different. An amazing work and always makes me question anew. Very good series of lectures for sure.

For Laertes read Judas. Performs the betrayal that allows the acrip tp be fulfilled. Then dors a similar desth in a similar place at a similar time. More mirroring of the mirror that is Hamlet, in whom we may or may not see ourselves.

So, what about the tension, from the beginning of the play, about the differences between the protestant and catholic views of purgatory? Wittenberg was specifically mentioned, so that idea is clearly in play. Does it get resolved or is it meant to get the audience to ruminate about it?

It is only relevant to Hamlet’s hesitation. Not resolved in the play.
