Hamlet & Miss Emily

If Hamlet were to be given advice by Miss Emily, she would tell him "grief could not cause a real [man] to forget noblesse oblige" (Faulkner, 1931, p. 429). Hamlet's position is one of royalty, similar to Miss Emily's aristocratic position in her Southern town. Miss Emily would tell Hamlet that he must refrain from engaging in such behaviors as fooling the King with a mock play
