Riddle- WTH is this?

Hippopotomonstrosesandpedalfear(phobia).

Question: Do you have to have read the whole play to solve the first riddle? Or is the solution maybe IN the play?

there is a hint in a spoiler, use it :)

"What ho! Horatio!"

Thats easy.

Hamlet is asking what whore Horatio is talking about!


serious answer:

He says that just before horatio enters. So its a greeting.

Aye. Hamlet talks about the free will later on. So maybe its a link to the Ho - Whore and Ho - Ratio.

Hard to explain. But horatio as a servant kind of acts like a whore in Hamlets eyes.

Riddles:
[UNSOLVED 80k] (literature) In a very famous play the actors say "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" and "Heaven will direct it". What do those actors refer to?
(click to show/hide)
practically every line of every character in this play is filled with three meanings, one of which is a real life reference. So the question is something from RL.

Wild guess, but is it referring to the Eighty Years' War and the reemergence of the Dutch Republic? Hamlet was written amongst this period and there was great doubt whether the various States and States generals could work together.  After a while, the government would prove itself worthy thus "Heaven has directed it" but that was after the play was written (or speculated to have been written).

Could also have to do something with the banishing of catholics after elisabeth got crowned. the "old" religion was rotting. and a new one was born - so now ppl had to ask them selves if they're ment to let "the heaven decide" or if they're about to follow - the ghost of the old king catholic or the puritan ! ?

so the heaven thing is a hint to religion.

and the rotting thing are the catholics. hihihihi
