I have a confession to make. I have never read Hamlet. I hope this won’t completely destroy my English major street cred. In any case, it’s on my To-Read list. I’ll get there eventually. I wonder if Hamlet has anything to do with homoeroticism or the destruction of the homosocial bond by the institution of heterosexual marriage. Maybe it’s about epistemology. My college Shakespeare prof seemed to think that’s what all the plays were about. (I quite enjoy Shakespeare, but I hated that class, and not just because I had mono that quarter.)
Despite lapses in my Shakespearian education, I have read Julius Caesar, a quote from which inspired the title of a novel I recently read, Interred With Their Bones by Jennefier Lee Carrell. Pretty creepy sounding, isn’t it? Here’s the original quote, if you’re curious:
The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
( Oh yes, there's definitely more. )
