The British Finally Giving David Tennant A Bafta Nomination Not For His Prestige And Heavy Roles Like

Another selection of some of the better names I've come across in Regency era newspapers recently.

There’s something Frozen in the State of Denmark...

It doesn’t work completely but please enjoy my spontaneous Hamlet rendition of “Let it go”:

Hamlet no!

The snow glows white on the castle tonight,

they say a ghost is walking.

The kingdom is of Denmark,

and strangely I’m not king.

The wind is howling like my drunk uncle inside,

couldn’t kick him out, heaven knows I’ve tried.

Don’t let them kiss don’t let them scheme,

be the good son, punish’ th’ adulterous queen.

Conceal, don’t feel don’t let them know,

Well, they don’t know-

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

just hold it back a lil’ more.

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

Proof first then blood galore!

I don’t care what they’re going to say,

Pretend to be mad, rage on,

‘phelia’s feelings never bothered me anyway.

It’s how funny the Queen, just gives this satyr all,

and here I stage the play, that will prepare his fall,

It’s time to see what I can do,

To trap the conscience of a fool.

No lies, no ghosts, just truth for me.

I see!

Hamlet no, Hamlet  no,

Let not his soul to heaven fly,

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

In his adulter’us bed he’ll die,

Here I stand and here I slay.

Let ‘phelia rage on….

My small mistake, sent Polonius to the ground.  

My old  friends, are to their death in England bound.

And Laertes’ wild revolt hits like a fiery blast.

Yeah Danish monarchs, soon are thing of past.

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

As men stand with rapiers drawn,

Hamlet no, Hamlet no,

Cup’s poisioned, Queen is gone

Here I stand and the King I slay,

Let Fortinbras rage on,

The rest is silence anyway.

As the Ides of March approaches, let us all remember it not as the day Caesar was stabbed a whole bunch, but for what it truly was: the day a group of organized elected representatives killed a sitting unelected dictator.

this is awesome but why did they use this pic

correct me if i’m wrong cos i don’t watch dune.. but i’ve seen people call paul a tragic character. except isn’t he a whole white coloniser tricking indigenous poc into believing he’s a prophet to serve his own interests? that’s inherently evil that cannot be a tragic character imo

so yes that is correct that is what happens. the tragedy is that he is a sixteen year old boy who gets a vision of this happening and he is TERRIFIED and absolutely does not want this to happen at all. He does not want the holy war he does not want to be the chosen one he initially very much wants to fight alongside the fremen as equals trying to liberate themselves from their current colonizer without becoming the messiah because they have common political cause.

And then the entire second half of the first book (and the second movie) are about the concessions he makes to himself bit by bit by bit (well it’s the only way to save his mom and sister. well it’s the only way to prevent nuclear war. well he does want his revenge. well maybe he IS special.) Until by the end he has lost 100% of his humanity, fully wants to be the messiah and is willing to manipulate people into thinking so, and has declared himself duke of arrakis in his father’s name and made a play for the imperial throne.

you’re right that it’s evil. the book and these movies agree with you. the tragedy is watching a child who desperately wanted to avoid this slowly completely lose himself to it anyways. i don’t think “tragic” and “evil” are inherently mutually exclusive.
