Claudius was creepy and seemed to dislike everyone but Gertrude. He was so different from the king, who was funny and youthful despite the wrinkles and graying hair. The adults turned to one another to converse about some associate who told the most dreadful stories, which left Horatio, Hamlet, and me to chat. The three of us had been friends for as long as we had been alive. Ever since we were in elementary school, Horatio and I had been invited to dinners with the royal family.
Once we were in high school, our invitations were limited to Sunday dinners. Since the king often missed dinner with his wife and son during the week, his staff knew that Sunday was to go untouched whenever possible.
In a matter of weeks, Hamlet and Horatio would leave for their second year of college, making these last Sundays more precious for us all.
Hamlet, you know I love my brother. Hamlet leaned over to kiss me, but I pushed him away. He grabbed my wrists and kissed me anyway. Hamlet and I looked at each other. She had been so distracted during the past few months, and I fleetingly wondered again if it had something to do with Claudius. I shifted in my seat. She was not only the mother of the only guy I had ever loved but also someone with the power to kick me out of the castle, which made the question all the more awkward.
She sat very still, which I knew was the only reply I was likely to get. When I broke up with him the last time, it took her weeks to even look at me, and Hamlet had to convince her to let me sit at her table again. He cleared his throat as he ripped a dinner roll and dropped half of it onto his bread plate, clattering the butter knife.

Adapted for the cinema many times and performed regularly on stages around the globe, "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's most popular play. This book employs a different approach to tell this story. The story follows Beth DeAngelo and her boyfriend Garrett Mackenzie "ship" named MacBeth , as they navigate their rise to fame and their own guilt after their friend Duncan King dies.
Or was he murdered? Hamlet's Moment identifies a turning point in the history of English drama and early modern political culture: the moment when the business of politics became a matter of dramatic representation. Drama turned from open, military conflict to diplomacy and court policy, from the public contestation of power to the technologies of government.
Tragedies of state turned into tragedies of state servants, inviting the public to consider politics as a profession-to imagine what it meant to have a political career. By staging intelligence derived from diplomatic sources, and by inflecting the action and discourse of their plays with a Machiavellian style of political analysis, playwrights such as Shakespeare, Jonson, Chapman, and Marston transformed political knowledge into a more broadly useful type of cultural capital, something even people without political agency could deploy in conversation and use in claiming social distinction.
In Hamlet's moment, the public stage created the political competence that enabled the rise of the modern public sphere.
