Question: What is the allusion t the Vulcans stithy from Hamlet!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Vulcan was the blacksmith of the Roman Gods!. His stithy is the same as his Smithy = i!.e!., his blacksmith's workshop!. Hamlet is making a comparison -- to be as foul as Vulcan's stithy is to be as dirty and sooty as the mother of all blacksmith's workshop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
