Claudius remains an entirely sympathetic figure, the play's tragic hero: capable of introspection and confession, he understands the geopolitical exigent he finds himself in and springs into action—maintaining stability and putting Denmark on a warlike footing. — PolitiTweet.org

In *Hamlet*, hope comes in a martial figure, Fortinbras, pronouncing "shoot!" at the close. Perhaps Denmark might be happier under his brutal rule than it was after being driven into chaos and madness by the play's true villain—Hamlet. — PolitiTweet.org

I offer this "hot take" on *Hamlet* to show that Shakespeare—regardless of the great poetry and intelligence he cloaks Hamlet in—depicts him as a deeply destructive, perhaps even evil, figure. The play is tragic in the way that horrible Hamlet is eventually victorious. — PolitiTweet.org
