The article focuses on the possible influence of William Cornysh's ballad "Blow thy horn, hunter" on Hamlet's verse about the "strucken deer." Topics include Harold Jenkins' speculation, the exploration of Cornysh's ballad as a source, and the thematic relevance of the song to Hamlet's perception of Gertrude, considering its connection to Henry VIII's marital controversies.
