      Terry and Arthur are still in business. Now, take Terry McCann: he's a hard boy, he's even done a bit of porridge, but he's got a heart of gold. He'll do anything for anyone. And take Arthur Daley - please. I've heard he even charges his mum petrol money when he runs her home. Arthur will do anyone for anything; perhaps that's why he needs Terry as a minder...

      Palabras al lector: EN UNA ATMÓSFERA DE FIEBRE Y ALUCINACIÓN. Si en Macbeth el escenario termina salpicado de sangre, en Hamlet sólo quedan la duda y el tormento. El drama Hamletiano carece de soporte real y los personajes atrapados en sus hilos se desplazan en una atmósfera de ingravidez, que dispone de ellos a su antojo. Es corriente afirmar que si el fantasma de la torre de Elsinor se hubiera aparecido a Macbeth, este hubiera consumado en el acto su venganza dando muerte al usurpador sobre su propio lecho. Hamlet, en cambio, convoca a sus espectadores durante cinco actos para demostrarles cómo no lo hace. Esa misma espera dura ya cuatro siglos y ha hecho que la duda de Hamlet, a un tiempo reflexiva, desesperanzada y melancólica, haya pasado a formar parte de los devaneos e incertidumbres de la mente y de las eternas preguntas conque el hombre interpela a sus destino. Hamlet hace posible que el teatro dentro del teatro pueda tener lugar desde el comienzo del mismo de la acción, de manera que el espectador, lector en nuestro caso, deja a un lado las apariencias de una trama convencional, e intuye en las elucubraciones y desvaríos del joven Hamlet, la revelación de un oscura verdad, nunca enteramente revelada. Hamlet-Macbeth, dos extremos irredimibles de la eterna insatisfacción humana. Salvador Garmendia
