The time has come for spooky spooky quotes! So we are summoning the witching hour from Hamlet today! I've always loved the imagery of this quote. This is in Act 3 Scene 2, during one of Hamlet's soliloquies. This is the point in time (if I remember correctly) when Hamlet's noticeably starting to fall off his rocker, and I can remember the first time I read this that the whole image sent a chill down my spine. It's as if he's wishing for the ghost of his father to come up and drag his uncle down to hell, or something. Reminds me a bit of those witches from Macbeth.
