“You may give me back my eye, but you’ll never give me back my heart, which you stole years ago and have never truly given back. I have loved you all our lives, Lucy.”

The Viscount's Men present... Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by ERNest for threegee
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Hamlet - Shakespeare
09 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
Every year at Aubrey Hall, the Bridgerton siblings convene on Boxing Day to mount a Shakespeare play under their acting company, The Viscount’s Men. Every year Eloise gets mad that they wouldn’t choose a gender neutral name, and every year she’s shouted down because it’s a historical reference to Shakespeare’s own troupe, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. The argument she’s bound to lose is as much of a tradition as the play itself. The audience has always been exclusively their parents and the Aubrey Hall servants, and maybe Lady Danbury if she's visiting for Christmas. In 1814, the play they choose is Hamlet.

Summary
The material and the spiritual used to be closer to the same thing, a reflection, a twin, a ghost putting a hand right through a window. Questioning cause and effect didn’t come until later, with language.
Two studies of a mooncalf and his island. (1/21/24: now with a third chapter!)

Summary
Long before tragedy ended a royal line, Claudius was a member of the family. Both families, because Polonius and Caroline completed their group. Over the years the five of them have ended up in different configurations but the love has always been there.

A Joke Too Old For Memory by ERNest

Summary
“If you go down the road about half a mile you’ll come to a place with a tree and a rock.”
“I’ve seen hundreds of trees and rocks,” he complained. “What makes these any different?”
“Oh, you’ll know the place,” he promised. “There’s nothing else there. Anyway, that’s where Didi and I wait for Godot. You really can’t miss it. I left a pair of boots there because they were too tight. I was getting blisters. You can have them if they fit.”Two men calling themselves Estragon and Rosencrantz walk into a ditch, and two men calling themselves Rosencrantz and Estragon walk out, having switched names and boots. They each find themselves in circumstances just as absurd as the ones they started out with.

For bearers of this greeting to old Norway,
Giving to you no further personal power
To business with the King more than the scope
Of these dilated articles allow.
Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.

And Draws What's Near It With It by ERNest

Summary
Somehow “Rosencrantz-and-Guildenstern and Hamlet” has become Ros-and-Guil-and-Hamlet, a tripod always spoken of in the same breath. At least until Rosencrantz becomes all but invisible and even Hamlet has to be reminded of his name. He has ever known himself to be a beggar beside the prince, but he refuses to plead for scraps of attention.
or, The Tragedy of Rosencrantz and No One Else

Summary
She cannot afford to give up on her position as a neutral party. She is not impartial and could never even pretend to be, and everyone knows she is far from impassive. But it’s something new for her — the middle child always shrieking for attention from anyone who would give it — to be the one whose favor is sought.
Regan makes a choice, and sticks to it.
