I'm declaring this my de facto Halloween submission.
Why?
Why not? Hamlet has a ghost. That's Halloween enough. Besides, this picture has a definite Halloween austere, if I do say so myself.
Depicted here is prince Hamlet receiving council from the ghost of his father, who is seemingly making Hamlet aware of the murder committed by Claudius, seen looking disconsolate, holding the poisoned goblet (the one with which he killed his brother, the king), and with blood-stained hands, which are notoriously synonymous with murder. To Claudius' right is Gertrude trying to make good on the hostile atmosphere, unaware of her husband's villainy.
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", indeed.
Yeah, and I don't claim to know anything about 15th-century Danish fashion, so spare me any such lectures regarding discrepancies in character dress.
Ultimately, I kinda feel this picture is flawed. The ghost is not nearly transparent enough- something I screwed up while assembling the characters over the backdrop. Also, I feel like I did a pretty lousy job shading Gertrude's dress. Feel free to leave me a critique and let me know what you think.

I really really like this this is really cool, I am studying English Literature and stuff and I really like your take on this Hamlet is a very moving and deep play as are all Shakespeare's. Thumbs up
