Crazy tales concerning Ophelia's brother (7)
I believe the answer is:
laertes
'ophelia's brother' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laertes that I've seen before include "Shakespearean character" , "killer in drama" , "... killer of prince" , "Man at Danish court" , "Son of Polonius (Hamlet)" .)
