Ophelia, Gertrude, and Regicide - Hamlet Part 2: Crash Course Literature 204 Spencer: Laertes was technically the most heroic. He had a whole hero's journey: Left the familiar for France in act 1, a bunch of bad stuff happened while he was gone, and in the last act he came back avenged his father and sister, paying a heavy price for succeeding.

The animators mussed an opportunity at 7: 53, they should have had a cartoon ghost show up in the background at 7: 56, put it's finger to its lips with a speech bubble saying -shh- to the audience, and then disappear, and John Green would never notice.

Hey John, thanks for your fun and very informative presentation of Hamlet, you put shame on Brit literature professors hehehe. Decisions to make still give us headaches today, I personally find solace in asking God for directions. Take care

Gertrude is a interesting character, but she's kind if a you know what. She and Claudius are perfect for each other. I would have loved to see a scene with mad Ophelia and Hamlet, like a gender swapped scene of To Be Or Not To Be.

Always wanted to watch entire literature crash course. Finally have time. Thanks for this John and team. It-s funny and informative. Also love the teenage John (he says most things I-m thinking at that moment )

Romans 12: 19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God-s wrath, for it is written: -It is mine to avenge; I will repay, -[a] says the Lord.

They say that if the lead actors of both Othello and Hamlet had switched roles the plays would have had a happy ending. Hamlet would not have killed Desdemona, and Othello would have killed Claudius.

Personal opinion: Heroic actions, in the modern sense, should imply a degree of selflessness and compassion. Otherwise, it would be meddle in the realm of ambition.

I-d really like to see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meet Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet purely for their efforts to try to one up each other with their wit

I could never understand why hamlet was blamed for Polonius- death. If I saw someone hiding behind a curtain in my room I-d probably react the same way.
