    You must know, Clayton, your father lost a father, That father lost, lost his–and the survivor bound In filial obligation for some term To do obsequious sorrow. But to persever In obstinate condolement is a course Of impious stubbornness, ‘tis unmanly grief, It shows a will most incorrect to heaven, A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, An understanding simple and unschool’d; For what we know must be, and is as common As any the most vulgar thing to sense– Why should we in our peevish opposition Take it to heart? Fie, ‘tis a fault to heaven, A fault to the dead, a fault to nature, To reason most absurd, whose common theme Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried From the first corse till he that died today, ‘This must be so.’

    all that hormone stuff is temporary, the love a son feels for his father lasts through the generations

    I would have flipped the last two panels. Nonetheless, a lovely sentiment.

    This brought tears to my eyes. For all you Dads out there, if you don’t feel you measure up to Adam - now’s a good time to start! Never too late to be eventually rewarded by your kids with a comment like that.

    It’s nice that, while an outside observer (i.e. us) may not always think Adam’s such a great dad, Clayton has no trouble overlooking his deficiencies. I’m sure Adam’s a FUN dad, and Clayton will be too!

    Shika-moo, that’s Hamlet, Act I, Scene ii. By WS.

    Of course, the argument in which I’ve often found myself is whether “fisrt corse” does or does not refer to Abel. I think not. While Abel is the first death mentioned in “Genesis”, and is significant as presumably the victim of the first murder, there’s no reason to suppose that he was the first person who ever died. Other children of Adam and Eve, who are never mentioned by name (and there must have BEEN some, otherwise where did Cain get his wife, and who are the other men whose hands Cain fears will be raised against him?) may have previously died through misadventure or disease or animal attack, before Cain slew Abel. We simply aren’t told of them, because they did nothing to move the plot along. Death was introduced into the world when Eve bit the forbidden fruit, and there’s no reason to suppose that Abel was the first person (let alone the first living thing) who had ever died (after all, the lamb Abel sacrificed had certainly already died). Besides, Abel never having been (so far as we are told) a father to ANYBODY, he does not fit the context of the line… While it is an attractive option to have this line once again be a reference to fratricide by Claudius (and I do not dispute that he refers to Cain and Abel ELSEWHERE), it does not seem to fit the context of the intention of this particular speech. Although Seth is specifically referred to as having been Eve’s replacement for the slain Abel, again other verses indicate that there were more than four people alive on earth at the time Abel was slain. Abel may simply have been the first person to die an “unnatural death”, at the hands of another person…

    My own reading is that Claudius is not taking scripture into consideration AT ALL, and that by “first corse” he is merely referring to an assumed or rhetorical “first: death of a man who left behind a son. It is no more a reference to a specific death than “he that died today” (which presumably is NOT a reference to Hamlet’s dead father, since he had been dead nearly two months by the time of the scene).
