Just a few days ago I was reading Hamlet for the first time. My mother tongue is not english, but spanish so imagine the task of having to read and try to understand a language which is not my own and that has evolved so much during these past centuries. So far I can honestly say, though demanding, it was quite an experience. What does Hamlet has to do with The Good Fight and specially with this episode you might ask yourself. Well, I have long suspected the creators of this show know quite a bit about literature and what draw me to make this conclusion is that in the play by Shakespeare, one the very well known soliloquies of Hamlet says the next:
"...Hum, I have heard That guilty creatures sitting at a play Have, by the very cunning of the scene, Been struck so to the soul that presently They have proclaimed their malefactions".
Hamlet, Act II, Scene II.
The writers of The Good Fight have managed to nod Shakepare's famous tragedy in the satirical work "Cocksucker Unchained". I know what you might think: "this is a stretch", but then the nod came. A Shakespeare portrait can be seen in the scene in which Marisa is talking to a group of writers.
