Description

This above all: to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

The searing tragedy of young student Hamlet, tormented by his father's death and confronting each of us with the mirror of our own mortality in an imperfect world.

Hamlet may very well be regarded as one of the greatest tragedies ever written. However I found it rather dull, certainly in Act I and Act II. It does pick up from Act III onwards and at that point I began to enjoy reading it.

It, being my first time reading the Play, was quite difficult to follow but I'm sure subsequent rereads will open up the language to me and I may then see fit to increase my rating.

The ending was stupid.

They are so long-winded my god. Try and place a word in I dare you. Not my favourite Shakespeare.
