Description
Shepard and the gang attend a play before the events of ME3. Shepard performs a renegade interrupt.I read Hamlet about 4 or 5 years ago for a class and I'm apart of the "Hamlet is nothing but a big fucking whiner" group. That guy seriously needed to stop moping and get his revenge on. The fact that the ghostly image of hamlet's dead father appears to him, and others, several times throughout the play telling him to avenge him makes me apathetic to his internal struggle. Even if his father's ghost wasn't real, but the manifestation of his desire for revenge, he ought to have acted on it.
I dunno, that's just my personal thoughts, I'm not a classical literature major.
For those unsure about what the heck the actors are saying its basically this:
The king, the purple one with the crown, is still disturbed by his murdering of his brother, the king and Hamlet's father. He knows he is damned, and hopes that if he prays he can receive absolution and relief.
While he prays Hamlet silently enters, planning to kill his uncle knowing that he was responsible for his father's murder. He hesitates as he realizes that should he kill his uncle now, while he prays, his uncle would be sent straight to heaven, rather than Hell. He weighs this against the fact that his father was murdered without last rites and he is uncertain if his father is in heaven. Ultimately he decides against it, deciding he'd rather kill his uncle when he is performing a sin.
Shout out to website stickfigurehamlet.com, that site made understanding Hamlet much easier and helped me pass that class.

I agree with ~roguish-philosopher on this. The game would be so much more entertaining!

You either love Shakespeare or you hate him. Or you love him, then you hate him. Or you love him, while you hate him. Or you love hating him, or hate loving him; or some other combination of those two emotional states which may or may not contradict one another at the time you are experiencing them. And then you wrote a sonnet about it.

I'm not sure who's expression I like most, Miranda's or Zaeed's. Mordin just looks offended; he's probably the only other person there to have done live theatre. (well, maybe Kasumi)

I guess even Shepard has little patience for 14 Hour plays.

Is it wrong that I wanted to yell this during my last year of high school because of having to study this play?
