Title help!

Okay, I know I know I know I'm not supposed to be thinking about the Hamlet thing until NaNo, but I thought I might as well try to find a working title I like.

So I looked through a bunch of Hamlet quotes and came up with these...which one/ones do you guys like?

I'll tell you my favorite after I get a few votes in.

Too Much In the Sun

Violet

Be Thou Familiar

Something is Rotten

More Matter, Less Art

Words, Words, Words

Out of the Air

The King of Infinite Space

To Be

A Thing of Nothing

Dull Revenge

Sweet Prince

Okay, The King of Infinite Space is my favorite, so I'm glad it's gotten 2 votes.

It comes from this:

Hamlet: Denmark's a prison.

Rosencrantz: Then is the world one.

Hamlet: A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst.

Rosencrantz: We think not so, my lord.

Hamlet: Why, then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.

Rosencrantz: Why, then your ambition makes it one: 'tis too narrow for your mind.

Hamlet: O, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space--were it not that I have bad dreams.



Hale will definitely say, "School is a prison," somewhere in my rewrite.

ooh, how I love Hamlet. (my airplane book). I've read it a zillion times.
Let's see - I sorta like when he's talking to Polonius and he says, "words, words, words"
though I doubt that's what you're looking for.
also: "in the secret parts of fortune"
"a vice of kings"

Mousetrap (the play within the play)

and of the ones you listed: To Be

I mentioned Words, Words, Words!

Ooh, I like "Mousetrap"....

That's one of my favorite parts. All those conversations with Polonius are hilarious. I'm definitely going to have dear Hamlet read Sartre and call it "words, words, words," and there will most definitely be a camel-shaped cloud.

To Be is my second favorite.

Haha I'm so confused.

My favorite rewrite I'ved read was a Great Gatsby...called Jake, Reinvented. I thought it would have been better if you could tell that it's from Great Gatsby from the title. I mean, once you know that it's a rewrite, the title makes sense...but I didn't realize until like chapter 3.

Yeah, I know....that's why I'm tied to it, too.

But man, I like King.

Okay, I think I'm going to go with King.

I'm glad almost everybody liked it. Yayyy.

I like the way it sounds (and I kind of like the bizarro speculative novel feel, haha) but I'm not to big a fan of mixing the lines....

That's what I figure.
