If this was a rating of a performance, it would probably be much higher, but I don't feel like just the words are enough for me with Hamlet. I love seeing it performed, it can really come alive depending on the production. But idk, once you already know the story it can only be so much on paper. Also the context of this rating is against Shakespeare's other plays, and I have only read two and seen a few!

I enjoyed it as much as I am capable of enjoying Shakespeare. It was interesting and tragic, but the youtube video sums it up best.
