I have just learned of Professor Paul Cantor's death in 2022 on Wikipedia. I've been listening to Shakespeare's plays and Cantor's lectures and the lectures add so much to my understanding of these plays. I did come here to praise Professor Cantor and offer my gratitude to his generosity in sharing his wisdom. R.I.P.

I am just finding out about his death and it genuinely feels like I lost someone so close to me, I’ve been listening to his lectures since grade 9, recommended to me by my English teacher and I owe it to prof Cantor for every good grade I ever received in lit. May you rest in peace.

~20:00 The basic structure of Hamlet’s battle with Claudius is clearly an iteration of Osiris, Set and Horus. Shakespeare makes two or three distinct references to this. The Norse probably informs more details directly but the pattern goes back several thousand years.

Trivia point, but it seems Donatello's bronze "David" (at the Bargello) was the first free-standing nude (although it has boots and a helmet) since the Renaissance, not Tullio's "Adam" @5:35

Whenever I hear scholars complain that Hamlet doesn't rush to kill Claudius (and they do this a lot!) I want to ask them how they expect him to accomplish it. It's like saying you want to kill the president. Not so easy! These guys are guarded and I suspect Claudius is even guarded against family. You check your dagger at the door when you enter the king's presence, something I suspect most Elizabethan audiences took for granted but never seems to occur to modern scholars. If I were staging the play, Claudius would always have armed guards around him, the way Coppola always had the muscle shadow Michael in Godfather 2. We might also consider that Hamlet might want to get away with killing Claudius, as Claudius himself got away with killing Hamlet Sr., without which it might be thought it's not much a vengeance.

I agree that Crystal is terrific. He's completely understandable, clearly understands what he's saying, and genuinely funny. Lemmon is just a little past his prime to be standing a sentry post or keeping up with the high power talent in the film. I thought Williams was less effective, as much because he wasn't actually on the set with everyone else as anything else.

Although apropos for an undergraduate course at a very elite university, the tacit hypothesis formulated as "political marriages don't work" is outside the cited political sources. The mechanics of political marriage are found neither in Machiavelli, nor Aristotle, nor Hegel, and esp. not Nietzsche. A better conclusion is that a close study of Shakespeare and his plays.inspires a belief that the only marriages that might work are those where one partner is away most of the time.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I don't know why this professor completely ignores the history of Danish invasion and laws in England in the eleventh century, as if Hamlet wouldn't be some allusion to that in England? Why is he focused on Greek influence of Homer's Iliad or Odyssey? I don't find that kind of connection nearly as blatant as the actual possession of large parts of England by the Danish tribes in the year 1000 until before the Norman invasion... Anyone else help here?

He imitates Lucius Junius Brutus who feigned madness in the court of the Tarquin kings according to Livy. Brutus was a key player in overthrowing the tyrant and establishment of the Roman Republic. Hamlet is less of a threat if people think him mad.

Hamlet's feigned madness is an element of the story going all the way back to Saxo Grammaticus' Amleth.

I have been a high school English teacher for 38 years. I read the Variorum "Hamlet" every summer just for fun, and teach Hamlet every year to my senior class, both A.P. and regular. I have never been so bored in my life hearing anyone speak about Shakespeare or Hamlet. His reading from Shakespeare's text is wooden and barely shows understanding of the words. His audience is pretty quiet; his students must be sleeping. He directs students to the text by citing page numbers?! I don't know one high school English teacher who uses page numbers; we admonish our students not to do this, but rather, to refer to the play by act, scene, line. I didn't find this lecture insightful or even the least bit interesting
