Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
Description
As Hamlet delves deeper into the political and emotional quagmire of his surroundings, he finds himself ensnared in a web of manipulation crafted by those closest to him, including his treacherous uncle, now king. His fluctuating resolve leads him through a labyrinth of philosophical reflections, poignant soliloquies, and intense actions that resonate with timeless human struggles.
The atmosphere is charged with psychological complexity as Hamlet wrestles with inaction, loyalty, and the implications of revenge. The characters around him, from the innocent Ophelia to the scheming Polonius, mirror the chaos of the court while embodying the varied human responses to grief and ambition.
Amidst the backdrop of a decaying kingdom, questions of fate, madness, and morality permeate every scene, drawing readers into a tale as compelling as it is tragic. The nuances of Shakespeare's language and character development ensure that this exploration of the human condition remains hauntingly relevant today.

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
