A Bridge of Ideas
Despite their vastly different origins, you've inadvertently linked the sprawling introspection of *Dom Quixote* with the existential turmoil of *Hamlet* through a shared framework of the absurd. Your note about Hamlet's 'kill everyone just in case' mentality hints at a recognition of both characters' grappling with chaotic realities, an echo of characters lost in their own invented worlds, whether chivalrous or princely. Both works, in their own way, question the very nature of reality and sanity, offering a profound, albeit often tragic, commentary on the human condition.
