A Polish lecturer I had as an undergrad once told a tutorial group about I
play he had seen produced just after the war, in which it was asserted that
Faust was Hamlet's tutor at Wittenberg!
 
As a friend of mine observed at the time, it provides a novel excuse:
"Sorry my essay is late, my tutor got dragged off to Hell . . . "

Yesterday, Bill Godshalk asked:
 
>And what about Martin Luther? Was Hamlet a
>proto-Lutheran? Was Hamlet Senior a Catholic?
 
I seem to recall these questions being addressed in a book by Robert
Rentoul Reed, *Crime and God's Judgement in Shakespeare* - I have found it
both interesting and useful.
