Catharsis

Thanks, that is _very_ interesting. I can't quite grasp two ideas
though:

1) In what way is Hamlet "creating"? Denmark's hectic fever must
burn itself out, and Hamlet is part of that purging force -
surely he is a destructive influence??

2) Just what does Hamlet forsee after his meeting with Hamlet Snr.?
