"WHOEVER FIGHTS MONSTERS
should see to it that in the process
he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss,
the abyss will gaze back into you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche may at least in part
have been thinking of Hamlet
after he accidentally kills Ophelia's dad,
or of the central problem of the play:
Can Hamlet kill Claudius without becoming
a murderous usurper like Claudius?
