I personally sort of adore the idea that she and Claudius were in love all along -- King Hamlet was just too honorable, and seriously, where's the fun in that? -- and Hamlet was actually Claudius's son. OH, MAN, THE ZANY FUN OF THAT, RIGHT? Right.
SO MUCH ZANY FUN!! I just love that it is so open to interpretation, and you can have a dozen equally fun but completely different theories floating around in your head at once. I do really like your "Hamlet, I am your father!" approach, though, haha.
I love Wuthering Heights, but it is certainly a book of much anger, frustration, and stupidity. I guess that's why it'll never quite match up to Jane Eyre for me -- although Wuthering Heights is beautifully written and leaves me an emotional wreck every time I read it, I think it's so much easier to get involved with and relate to Jane Eyre (because, seriously, if you can relate at all to the characters/events of Wuthering Heights, you should probably seek professional help). I would really recommend revisiting Jane Eyre, or even checking out some of Charlotte Bronte's other novels -- I think you would probably like Shirley.
Well, who knows, maybe I'll get around to writing the whole thing some day. ;) I've always dreamed of being a soap opera writer, but I think writing trashy romance novels could be just as much fun. "Her sapphire eyes glinted dangerously as she flicked her fiery curls over her shoulder with defiance..." Oh, the endless LULZ.
