The Ghost of Hamlet Past

Hamlet sees the ghost!  There is a steaming fog about him.  This is the first time Hamlet implies that he doesn't particularly care to live.  Okay, total Gandalf moment.  This is random, but the ghost's angry voice reminds me of Gandalf when he says "You Shall Not Pass."  It has an echoy quality that lends it power and mystery.  Patrick Stewart plays both Claudius and the ghost.  He was also in XMen and Star Trek.  Ironically, he voiced Bill Shakespeare in Gnomeo and Juliet.
