don’t make me break through a window
Sae stared at the text notifications popping up on his phone, one right after another. He sighed at the text before walking through his halls to the front door—the demon’s threats were anything but empty, and he didn’t feel like paying to replace a window anytime soon.

Okay thoughts--
I just finished a production of hamlet as Hamlet, and during rehearsal one time I flipped open a prop notebook to take notes while the ghost of Hammy Sr. was talking, and saw my same exact notes from last rehearsal, and in my dissociated acting state, it hit me in a weird way and I'm GOING to talk about, though hell itself shall gape and bid me hold my peace.
Seeing the same thing written, and writing it again, made me think of hamlet as a circular story, which it very well can be. The play ends with Horatio promising to tell the story of what happened, and then having to do so to Fortinbras' invading army. You can start the play right back up again there if you desired, and it would fit.
We also know that shakespeare took a sledgehammer to the fourth wall and made it nonexistent, pretty much. Is it not possible, that hamlet is sort of, semi aware of his existence as a character? He references the audience multiple times in lines (which ofc can also mean the people around him but also the audience audience) and delivers monologues straight to the people watching, sort of involving them in the show as well. (See A2 S2, "it would split the ears of the groundlings, who ... are capable of nothing but ... noise)
What if hamlet is slowly going crazy because he is slowly realizing that his story is never ending, it's a cycle and it will be the same no matter what happens. He's so desperate to change the outcome, that we see him begging other characters to do things differently, hoping to have a different ending than the one he sees glimpses of over and over again.
Ophelia might be seeing this too, inspired by the theory that ophelia is seeing everyone's ghosts before they're dead and goes crazy due in part to that (I read that I think on tumblr but I can't find the og post so if somebody can please lmk) she may also be slowly clueing into the nature of their existence.
Isn't that horrifying? Hamlet, over the course of the 400 ish years that the show has been performed may be going crazier and crazier every time because he Can't Get Out. We even see this in one of his lines right before the sword fight with Laertes where he dies, he says to Horatio that "we defy augury." He's still so hopeful that it MIGHT be different this time, and that's what's so heartbreaking about it all, is that after everything he still thinks he can change the ending. And we, as the audience, hope he can! At least I do, and that makes his death and the ending, the inevitable tragedy, all the more bitter.

actually I do want to talk about Sally Jackson a tad more because one criticism I've been hearing about her book counterpart more recently is "book Sally is one-dimensional: the perfect mother with no flaws" and that just has me biting my cheek because one part of her book counterpart that I always thought was ripe with discussion and didn't make it to the show is that Sally states that it was selfish of her to keep Percy close. It's one of the last things she says to him before she's "killed" by the minotaur.
And there's so much that we don't know about Sally because we view her from Percy's eyes. From his perspective we know that she's exceedingly kind, she never raises her voice to him or even Gabe, and she endured a horrible and abusive relationship to protect her son from monsters (of a different kind).
But there are things we can piece together from the text: Sally has known about CHB for a long time, apparently since before Percy was even born because Poseidon told her he wanted to send Percy there; she was told that it was a mistake for her to keep Percy close - who told her that, we're not sure, she only uses the phrase they; she's been in contact with Grover through out the school year; she knows that she can't cross the camp boundary line, which means either Grover or someone else (Chiron? Poseidon?) told her that, and that she understood that there was place that Percy would be safe from monsters.
And all of these little details are so interesting because it does make you wonder just how much she did or didn't know. Was her self assessment right? Was it selfish of her to keep Percy close?
On one hand, she kept him close because she loved him, alongside the fear that if she sent him to camp, she would be saying goodbye for good -- so is it even fair to call the act of keeping him close selfish? Or perhaps, much like Chiron, she assumed keeping Percy in the dark would be safer?
But on the other hand, Percy had been attracting monsters all his childhood, she understood camp was a safe place from monsters, and she had apparently been told explicitly that it was a mistake for her to keep him close.
And then adding in the factors of: Percy is her only family in the entire world, she's been suffering with Gabe for years, sacrificing so much in order to keep Percy safe when he's at home... but even that has a touch of sad irony because when we meet Percy in tlt, its at point when he's not really home at all -- he's been regularly sent off to boarding schools, so much so that he's internalized it as his own short-coming.
And all of this isn't to say "Omg Sally is actually horrible" or to assert definitely that she is selfish... but more to speak to the fact that in the books, she's not an all-perfect 2-dimensional mother. And her self-assessment of selfishness is something that is really interesting to explore and debate given the implications of what she apparently did (or did not) know about the godly world. I feel there's even an argument to be made that Sally being "selfish" could be a reflection of Percy's fatal flaw.
