I've worked in the Inuit hamlets of the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1994. Over that time I've been very moved by both the pace of social change there - the loss of traditional ways of seeing the world, the affinity for and comfort with the land - and by the social disarray that change of this pace produces.

The word 'hamlet' implies a smaller size compared to a village.

Size Implication

'Hamlet' often indicates there's no church, distinguishing it from larger villages.

No Church Presence

Hamlets are typically found in rural areas, surrounded by natural scenery.

Rural Setting

'Hamlet' refers to a famous Shakespearean tragedy, not a location.

Literary Classic

Remember, Hamlet is a Danish prince, which sets the play's royal context.

Know Hamlet's soliloquy ('To be or not to be'), it's essential for understanding his character.

Famous Soliloquy

 He keeps on going up to his uncle and almost killing him. And then he backs away, he goes up to him again, almost kills him. The critics sitting in the back row there, they have to have an opinion, so they say, "Hamlet is a procrastinator." Or they say, "Hamlet has an Oedipus complex." No, otherwise the play would be over, stupid.

Here's a translation of "Hamlet" into Klingon, although performing it would mean getting used to pronouncing "k" with your uvula, that weird, cartoony thing hanging in the back of your throat.
