From the Arden:

fishmonger a comic mistake and presumably a deliberate one, establishing that Hamlet is feigning madness at this point. Since Malone, editors have argued about whether fishmonger carries connotations of 'fleshmonger' or bawd (see Jenkins).

Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.

For good measure, here's the Arden (Folio) on Hamlet's sighting of Ophelia after To be or not to be:

Hamlet, at the sight of Ophelia, does not immediately recollect that he is to impersonate madness, but makes her an address grave and solemn, such as the forgoing meditation excited in his thoughts (Johnson). Others, however, find his tone ironic or even sarcastic. In Q2, this is the first time that Hamlet and Ophelia encounter each other onstage...

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

-Light My Fire, 1967
(Morrison, Krieger, Manzarek, Densmore)

Mary had a little lamb
It had a touch of the colic
She gave it whiskey twice a day
And now it's an alcoholic

-Traditional

A link to a quick read, the seminal essay on a Freudian (Oedipal) interpretation of Hamlet, by Ernest Jones:

The Oedipus-Complex as An Explanation of Hamlet's Mystery: A Study in Motive

Interesting for my purposes: Jones remarks on Hamlet's unrestrained contempt for Polonius:

It is here that we see his fundamental attitude towards moralising elders who use their power to thwart the happiness of the young...

In other words, I'm an old man standing in the way of my child's (erotic) fulfillment, an Oedipal situation without incestuous restraints for Hamlet.

This essay is famous and worth reading.

Also -- whether you value psychoanalysis/psychiatry/psychology or not, it's pretty cool that one of the great theories of the mind was inspired by trips to the theater: Freud's documented attendance at several staged versions of the Oedipus story.

Here's what I was talking about from Quarto 1, (4.6):

Gertrude:
Then I perceiue there's treason in his lookes
That seem'd to sugar o're his villanie:

Though there's some confusion with pronouns, I'm pretty sure Gertrude is referring to her husband Claudius here, as Horatio has informed her of the plot to assassinate Hamlet in England, which Hamlet has uncovered.

In Quarto 2 and Folio (3.1):

Polonius:
Tis too much proou'd, that with deuotions visage
And pious action, we doe sugar ore
The deuill himselfe.

Here I'm thinking long-winded Polonius instructing Ophelia on how to conduct herself when Hamlet arrives has a revealing moment, offering (unnecessarily) how an outward display of piety and devotion can conceal evil. He understands the Richard III (Machiavellian) formula for power and trips Claudius into a crisis of conscience, the "heavy burden" speech that follows.

Gertrude delivers this "read" on Claudius in Quarto 1. In Q2 and Folio Polonius seems to throw it against the wall and it sticks to Claudius.

Sugar over the devil himself--love it.

As we begin to consider scansion... It's said in politics you campaign in poetry but govern in prose. Listen to how Hillary Clinton in the SC debate uses stressed syllables to paint up Barack Obama with the words SLUM LANDLORD and INNER CITY CHICAGO. That's really some poetry. She might as well have called him the n-word.

From The New York Observer:

Hamlet 2 Nabs Top Dollar at Sundance

Hamlet 2, a witty high-school satire starring acclaimed British actor Steve Coogan, took home the top prize at Sundance yesterday, selling for about $10 million. Focus Features, which has garnered success with arty fare including Brokeback Mountain and Atonement, bought the rights, making it one of the biggest sales in the history of the fest, according to Reuters. Mr. Coogan stars as Dana Marschz, an "overly dramatic drama teacher who attempts to salvage his high-school theater department by staging a controversial sequel to Shakespeare's play."

Here's the classic essay from T.S. Eliot: Hamlet And His Problems.

The money quote:

So far from being Shakespeare's masterpiece, the play is most certainly an artistic failure.

Open to new ideas? Our fearless leader, BJR, has already rejected my proposal that I (Polonius) deliver the To be or not to be soliloquy and dismissed my suggestion that Hamlet and Gertrude do it with each other wild in Act V.

James scares me a little. But may the big monkey in the sky bless him for knowing that Strange Brew: The Adventures Of Bob And Doug McKenzie is loosely based on Hamlet.

In rehearsal #2 we considered whether Ophelia is still a virgin at the end of the play, or, as Miracle Max would put it, only mostly a virgin. I still don't understand Brian's shouting "Nine ball, corner pocket" while the rest of us grappled with this essential question.

To the question, Led Zeppelin Or Jimi Hendrix?, I can only say...You know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar...

As I mentioned in rehearsal #1, Stanford University has uploaded a free course (MP3's) called The Literature Of Crisis, which includes two worthwhile lectures on Hamlet.
