He means BOTH. ...well, actually, the "fair/Moor" connection
seems a bit tenuous now that I think about it, but I
meant that Shakespeare had both metaphors -- that of Hamlet
(the older) as a mountain and of Claudius as a dank moor,
AND of Hamlet as a noble Dane, or whatever, and Claudius
as a Moor (as in Othello).Posted by Alvin Sidwick on March 24, 1997 at 11:59:39
