poets are for each other

arguments for:

six seven itself has no actual meaning and originates from a clip of a viral song on tiktok, so hamlet's way of pretending to be "mad" could be repeating something widespread but meaningless, like how he quotes song lyrics and idioms (2.2, 430-432; 3.2, 306-310; 3.2 371-372)

hamlet often uses nonsensical, surreal humor, usually ones that appeal to the youth and confuse the older generation, to cope with his despair (2.2, 190-199; 5.1, 204-207)

he puts on the antic disposition partly to confuse claudius and gertrude, which this absolutely would

i don't think hamlet would ever have gen alpha humor, which is the point. he's changed to the point of being unrecognizable in his madness (2.2, 4-1; 316-321)

polonius would try to find meaning in it and come to an entirely incorrect conclusion

arguments against:

hamlet may not have tiktok or even know of this meme in the first place, because he's said to be a stable and well-liked individual prior to the play (4.7, 18-20)

feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

hi, i made a database on notion of a bunch of resources, online archives, journals and so on i frequently use for research!!

not all of these are open access/free, and some might be through a library membership (but most are open access) but the idea of this was more to get the names and links of resources in one place so things don't slip through the cracks

It makes you wonder if the song is referring to the trip to Paris that John and Paul went on in the early days of the Beatles. It was also written during a time when John and Paul were not on the best terms and were very much in need of starting over.

But THEN, I just came across something that SUPER confirms this.

“Starting Over” In “John Lennon: The Collected Artwork”.

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.
