yeah.

the feeling i get from watching it in movie form (which i did recently. i still don't like the branagh version. but i did like horatio. and i liked the vibe between him and hamlet. but i didn't like their treatment of ophelia, even though kate winslet is so beautiful)--is that horatio is hopelessly, slavishly devoted body-soul-heart-etc to hamlet. that may be a platonic devotion, but if it is, that doesn't really matter. cause when your whole self is devoted, whether you're fucking because a small issue.

the thing is: how does hamlet feel about horatio? cause i feel horatio's devotion is canon, but by canon i think hamlet's feelings are ambiguous.
