Something Rotten in Denmark Modern Hamlet

The question used to reprimand children and often trick them into admitting their own mistakes, which started with something along the lines of "if your friend jumped off a bridge," resonated with Horatio well. His answer depended entirely on who that friend was. If it was anyone else but Hamlet, he would have followed up the question with "how high is the bridge," and leave it at that. If it had been Hamlet things would be a little more complicated.
