Pynchon, CofL49 Look What I found in Shakespeare

[Mark Kohut]

Alice has not only this in common with T.S. Eliot, but this:

She thinks Hamlet is NOT as great as the conventional wisdom.

Courageous.

All true, soory Bailey I misunderstood but I get it now, but the the
boy-man Hamlet is quite uneven; the idea that he is a college boy, he
certainly acts in an unmanly manner, and speaks like old Bill
Shakespeare and like a bunch of other dramatists and mouthpieces is
but one problem with this problem of a play--a parody of the revenge
tragedy.
