[edit] "Original Klingon"

I'm reasonably sure that this line in STVI was meant to be a joke on Chang's part; he's a smart guy and would obviously know that Shakespeare wasn't a Klingon. He was just tweaking the Federation folks and was not (as the article implied before I chagned it) saying that Shakespeare wrote in Klingon. --Jfruh 17:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

In the Klingon Hamlet (I bought it in Vegas, where else?), the preface is supposedly written by other Klingon researchers who make the same claim. The entirety of Star Trek VI is laden with elements from real international affairs. In the instance of Hamlet in Klingon, it is based on German propaganda that implied William Shakespeare was originally German. It only seems more absurd in this context. For a final laugh, the preface the Klingon Hamlet talks about Romeo & Juliet as one of Shakespeare's "Problem Plays" (from the Klingon mindset) while his greatest work, to them, was unsurprisingly Titus Andronicus. --Bobak 19:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
