Hamletises

[t k]

One shouldn't talk when one is tired and wretched. One Hamletises, and it seems a lie. Only believe me when I show you a bit of healthy pride and insouciance. (From Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence. A larger context is here. Use ctrl-f to locate the excerpt.)

Please explain "Hamletises". Thanks. --- tk

It is an invented verb meaning "to act like Hamlet," who was famously moody and indecisive. The OED lists it as "Hamletize v. rare, to soliloquize or meditate after the manner of Hamlet."
