Summary

Who’s to blame for Hamlet?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Adam Lustick to discuss the events that transpire in the Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet. Arguably Shakespeare’s greatest work, there’s hardly a main character left standing by the time it’s over. Why did this revenge play get so messy? Could societal discomfort with grief have something to do with it? Was Hamlet over surveilled or simply overthinking things? Perhaps the ghost of his dead father is to blame. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
