 Shakespeare is Shakespeare Sep 22, 2009
Teacher said this was required reading. As far as I can tell, it's true to The Bard's style and penchant for requiring 10-15 minutes per page to read. For me, pure homework.

the guy who gave Hamlet a one-star review Jun 28, 2009
The guy who gave Hamlet a one-star review is either a tongue-cheek humorist of the first order, or barring that, an absolute idiot.

Frailty, thy name is "human" Jun 11, 2009
I had previously read translated versions of Hamlet, but I discovered that nothing compares to reading it in the original English. Shakespeare's words are an art form without equal, exquisitely mixed with a story of human anguish and emotional struggle.
No staging of this work or great movie of the play can replace reading the play word by word. Admittedly, reading the play is intense and difficult work, but the joy of the journey is quite worth the pain. The charm of the language is equal to the complexity of the story. The genius of this work is not the language alone, but the mastery of describing Hamlet's inner hell. Personally, I think Ophelia was another tortured soul on whom Shakespeare showered extra attention to describe her suffering.
This work doesn't need my modest praise; Read this master piece!
A timeless great work that should be read again and again Dec 16, 2008
What can one possibly say about the greatest literary work every written in the English language? Just this. Read it again. Hamlet is a work that is subject to multiple interpretations. If you read it 20 years ago it may well mean something different to you now. Was Hamlet mad? Why does he delay acting? What is justice? The play is profound for the questions it raises as well as for its language. It amazed me on reading it again after many years how many lines are in common use now. While some of the words are difficult to understand without a guide it is worth reading an edition that provides this interpretation. It is also worth getting an edition that provides some scholarly interpretation as well.
