So You Think You Know Hamlet
So you think you know Hamlet? See if you can answer these questions.
Hamlet is:
(a) A Roman soldier who hates commoners
(b) A Scottish king who consults witches
(c) A Danish prince who loves to talk
So, you think you’d like to be Hamlet?
Have you ever fancied yourself as a bit of a Hamlet? Wanted to strut your stuff around a gloomy Danish castle, annoying your uncle the king and insulting his advisor? Thought of having your school friends murdered or fighting your dead girlfriend’s brother? Want to muse for hours over the question of mortality and existence?
If your answer to any of these questions is “I’ll have to think about it”, then you just might have the qualities necessary to make you one of the growing band of procrastinators much in demand in local government.
