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.
They are so long-winded my god. Try and place a word in I dare you. Not my favourite Shakespeare.
Horatio was THIS close to killing himself so he could die with hamlet and y'all still saying it's straight??? Im losing braincells here
