Hamlet is many things, but stupid is not one of them. Horatio wishes he could do more than watch his friend, the man he loves, destroy himself. This is a more detailed look at Act 5 scene 2 of Hamlet with a focus on the perspective and emotions of Horatio. There is some subtle hamlet/horatio if you squint, but what can i say? I'm a sucker for my favorite tragic danish boyfriends. I may add more to this this eventually, but I think I'll mark it as complete for now. This is my first published story since 7th grade, (I know, right?) so please give me your thoughts on it!
