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.
It was ok. Pretty average adaption for a classic piece of literature. Victor Hugo was surely somewhat of a political writer to a degree. This definely seen in Northe Dame and in this novel as well. I can see even through this adaption as well. I definitely wanna read the original novel (maybe with annotations to add context while I'm reading). <spoiler></spoiler>I have to say Jivert was an interesting character for me while I was reading this adaption. Mainly due to his obsession with catching Jean Valjean, even when the man proves himself time and time again that Jean has reformed himself. This obsession ultimately leads to his death (as Jivert was raised by criminals and through that experience, thinks they are all the same) as he realizes that Jean doesn't fit these boxes. (at least in this adaption.)Jean was a great character, I liked him as the protagonist and related to him alot. He in the manga is someone who was clearly trying to do his best during a time when the country was going a rough patch. His relationship with his adopted daughter Cosette is definitely a highlight to his character and makes me want him to succeed in not getting captured by Jivert.
