In which John Green teaches you MORE about Bill Shakespeares Hamlet. John talks about gender roles in Hamlet, and what kind of power and agency Ophelia and Gertrude had, if they had any at all (spoiler alert: we think they did). Youll also learn about regicide, Ophelias flowers, and Hamlets potential motivations. Also, Oedipus comes up again, but we dont buy it.
