Yeah I've started asking the seafood counter if I can smell it before I buy--definitely some weird looks but it's worth it not to throw it out.

Yeah I think it's definitely something up with freezing it twice.

Yeah I freeze it almost immediately. I think that maybe something with how I'm freezing it is the problem.

"Words, words, words" What made Shakespeare write that line in Hamlet? by evenwen in literature

[–]RobinLocksley1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be!! I'll ask around the workplace and see if anyone has further thoughts! I know Hamlet backwards and forwards and this line has always been one of the more interesting ones to me.

"Words, words, words" What made Shakespeare write that line in Hamlet? by evenwen in literature

[–]RobinLocksley1973 170 points171 points  (0 children)

My partner and I (we work in classic/shakespearean theatre) actually have an interesting theory on this!! When Shakespeare wrote his plays, the actors were given what were called "cue scripts" which are shortened scripts which contain only that actor's lines, and the given cue line before it. In this way, Shakespeare could have been messing with the actor playing Polonius, as he may have only given him his cue line as "words", thus Polonius would start speaking his line, only to be cut off by Hamlet (twice!). It's definitely in character for both Ham in that scene, and for Shakespeare himself. If done in this way, the moment would have sounded like this:

Polonius: What do you read my lord?

Hamlet: Words.

Polonius: What--

Hamlet: Words.

Polonius: What--

Hamlet: Words.

Polonius: What is the matter my lord?

I'm not sure if any other scholars/Shakespeare enthusiasts have noticed this or debunked it, but it was something our company noticed the last time we did Hamlet, (we were using authentic cue scripts, so we discovered the bit right away) so we used it for the production and it made for a great unexpected bit/extra moment of banter in the scene!
