So I was reading Hamlet Act 4 today and noticed something. The messenger brings letters, clearly stated one for the king and one for Gertrude. Claudius then reads about Hamlet’s return, he discusses the plan with Laertes, and then Gertrude arrrives to tell of Ophelia’s death.
Does Gertrude ever get her letter? What’s in it, do you think? Is any mention made of it again?
Hey, good news: we found Hamlet's letter!!!http://www.everydayshakespeare.com
