AI6YR BenI don't know why Hamlet had to fuss so much about a bodkin I don't think you could manage to stab yourself at all effectively with one of these. You might do more damage with a toothpick, frankly. #bodkin #sewing
From Hamlet..,
"... To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,..."
