Hamlet Meets Shakespeare

C.S Lewis, before he came to believe in Christianity, believed that the notion that man could know God personally was as ridiculous as Hamlet knowing William Shakespeare. Eventually after a long and thoughtful process, Lewis reluctantly came to believe that Christianity was true where he then converted.

He later realized that the metaphor he had used before was actually a good one. For Hamlet could never break himself out of the play, but Shakespeare, the author, could write himself into the story...........

Now imagine if you were Hamlet, and you were running through some green vineyards where you suddenly met some short, long stocking, pointy bearded fellow. He proclaims to you that he is Shakespeare, your creator and author who has written himself into the story. What would you think about this fellow? Surely one would think him to be crazy....

Think about it.....
