Remember, kids, insulting one member of a group is the same as insulting every member of that group!  Clearly these folks are masters of both literary criticism and social niceties.Since it's not clear here, Ghost Dad is accusing Gertrude of being adulterous with his brother Claudius before his death and helping plan (or at least cover up) his murder. Even so, he tells Weebottom to leave her alone and only punish Claudius. "Pernicious" would be entirely correct in context. The next line is "O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!" which is equally accurate, assuming the allegations are true. So, if you insult a woman when you believe she's committed evil acts, you're sexist against all women, according to this story. Get our Weebottom in gear and shank the king!

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Huh. I had never read that bit as the ghost accusing Gertrude of a co-conspirator. Shows what I know. Let's see what Ryan North knows about assassinating kings in their own palaces! Well, to be fair, like most things in Hamlet it's implied instead of stated. However, based on Hamlet's reaction it's what he derives from Ghost Dad's raving. The only other thing Ghost Dad mentions about his wife is that he's unhappy she married Claudius - and lil' Hammer already knew that.

Get Ophilia in on this, maybe we'll actually get a branching path.

I actually think this was the best ending we've gotten so far. It would have been a fine CYOA ending for Hamlet - it's just way too abrupt in its delivery. Make a pass at the queen, I guess. Is the secret of Poor Yorick's formatting that it's completely terrible?

Yeah, that's pretty much how Ophelia relates those events in Hamlet. Shakespeare is weird sometimes. The snark is even within tolerable limits. Follow
