"When sorrows come, they come not single spies. But in battalions"

If it weren't written as a play and I were more fortunate to find an edition which would've been written as a story, I might've enjoyed it more, nevertheless. The plot portrays intricate human behavior upon projection of their emotions and ideas, and it's obvious why hitherto Hamlet is a famous play and book.

The language proved to be easy to understand and figure out thanks to my previous experience with reading Tolkein.

the rest is silence

If this was written today, the ending would not be as awesome. Everybody dies!

Good! Shakespeare fr like founded the whole dictionary, and for that I give him so much credit, but like his stuff…not really my favorite at the end of the day. But Hamlet story is loaded and I do love everything with it.
