I'm afraid that despite all attempts to the contrary, I'm doomed to be a writer, and am currently
embroiled neck-deep in a project concerning William Shakespeare. If you have a moment, any and all
philosophical insights and advice relating to the man and/or his works would be most welcome and
greatly appreciated.

============

I'm not sure if this counts as a philosophical insight, but it might be interesting to read Hamlet while
concentrating on the fact that the play is set during the protestant reformation and specific mention is
made of the fact that Hamlet has just returned from studying in Wittenberg. There seems to me to be
quite a bit of tension in the play that arises from the Roman Catholic/ Protestant disagreement over
the concept of mortal sin. I don't remember ever seeing a commentary that makes mention of this.
