Add to ORKGThis essay explores the intertextual debt to Hamlet in Graham Swift's Ever After. Employing Jacques Lacan's reading of desire in "Desire and the Interpretation of Desire in Hamlet," the author argues that Bill Unwin's paralysis of subjective agency encourages his identification with Hamlet so as to fix himself within the symbolic order. Unlike Hamlet, however, Unwin faces not only the crisis of the father's law, but postmodernity's collapse of symbolic authority
