Preface
In Hamlet, Shakespeare employed special composition producing a multi-plot structure in which the prosaic text represents the primary plot.
Chapter I: Did Shakespeare mean Prince Hamlet as a son to king Hamlet?
Shakespeare created two images of prince Hamlet pertaining to different plots. Perceiving them as a single image, we interpret the discrepancies in Hamlet as Shakespeare's inaccuracies.
Chapter II. Shakespeare, Hamlet, Ophelia, and Eliot: no lack of objective correlative
According to Shakespeare, Hamlet guessed Ophelia was pregnant. So, there is no lack of objective correlative in the image of Hamlet as it was defined by T.S. Eliot in The Sacred Wood.
Chapter III: King Hamlet's son
Shakespeare depicted Horatio as Hamlet's half-brother, king Hamlet's son. Having drowned Ophelia, Horatio narrates in Hamlet a false story of the fate of Prince Hamlet.
Chapter IV: The Mousetrap for the Narrator of W. Shakespeare's Hamlet
The versed part of Hamlet is the text of the Mousetrap created by Prince Hamlet. Its inner structure replicates that of the whole Shakespeare's novel of Hamlet.
Chapter V: He who reports Hamlet and his cause aright To the unsatisfied
Nearly all events predicted by Hamlet in the Mousetrap came true, though within the plot of Shakespeare's novel Hamlet, the fate of Shakespeare alias Prince Hamlet remains unknown.
Chapter VI: Hamlet-Shakespeare does not lie in his grave (Marlowe?)
In Hamlet, Shakespeare identified himself with some Tanner, a university graduate not lying in his grave since 1593. Which are a nickname and surmised biography of Christopher Marlowe.
Chapter VII: What was Queen Elizabeth to Marlowe, or Marlowe to Elizabeth?..
The Shakespeare mystery was maintained at the state level as a top state secret. Queen Elizabeth personally tackled two cases threatening the fate of Christopher Marlowe.
Chapter VIII: The second Virgin in the history of human civilization?
Christopher Marlowe taught Arabella Stuart, a prospective queen. The parliament adopted a decision the throne should be succeeded by Queen Elizabeth's 'natural' rather than 'legitimate' issue.
Chapter IX: Is Christopher Marlowe The Swan of Avon?
Shakespeare-Hamlet: is Marlowe the Swan of Avon? The place Queen Elizabeth delivered a child in April 1564 is situated on river Avon. That might attribute Ben Jonson's definition to Marlowe.
