So I have been thinking a lot about our discussion that we had about Hamlet being Hamlet. The book title above shows an example of certain people get out of what they read. "Ghost Dad" is an interesting title because although the story is about Hamlet revenging his fathers death, I feel that it is more about Hamlet and they way he handles his life. It's the same as if everyone were "normal". (What is normal anyway?) There wouldn't be anybody to make us think about why we are the way we are. We have people in the world that are straight edge, a little loopy, conservative, eccentric, and just plain orbital because that is their normal. I'm not trying to play "devils advocate" even though it may sound like it, but although it is clinical proven that Hamlet is mentally unhealthy, we wouldn't have HAMLET with out that mental disease.
