More notes on Hamlet and the Tempest

Hamlet
Hamlet's will forget all except avenging his father, but the play is about his procrastination. He gets distracted, that is the plot of the play.
It is a gnostic fable, a character is first given a task and then gets distracted. An important moment is when the character is reminded of his or her task.

The Tempest
The magician kidnaps people and creates the illusion of a storm so he can seperate people into groups.
Nine is an important number for women in mythology.
Miranda needs imgination. She remembers things through her nervous system and her brain.
