Read Hamlet by Marlowe And Shakespeare
In his extraordinary analyses of Hamlet as written by Christopher Marlowe, one of the many details Alex Jack has unearthed is that the Player King and Queen representing elder Hamlet and Gertrude repeat three times they have been married thirty years. Jack deduces Marlowe/Shakespeare is “underscoring the importance of this figure”:
“Full thirty times” 3.2.147
“Thirty dozen moons” 149
“twelve thirties” 150
Jack says, “Hamlet is their only child. If he was born 9 months after they married he would be 29 years old and three months. Marlowe was born February 26th (or so) 1564, he “died” May 30th 1593, at 29 and three months of age.”
ABOUT ALEX JACK
"A special interest in Christopher Marlowe, the brilliant dramatist of the Elizabethan era, began for me in high school with a teacher of English who stressed the importance of Marlowe’s poetic and pioneering genius. He lamented his early death at the age of 29 and stimulated in at least one of her pupils an enduring curiosity concerning the mysterious circumstances surrounding it."
Alex is the grandson of David Rhys Williams, the author of Shakespeare Thy Name Is Marlowe, who introduced him to the authorship controversy as a child. Alex served as a reporter in Vietnam in the 1960s, editor-in-chief of the East West Journal in the 1970s, general manager of the Kushi Foundation in the 1980s, and director of the One Peaceful World Society in the 1990s.
