Ez volt a legunalmasabb könyv amit ebben az évben olvastam.

Eddig Shakespeare-től ez volt a második darab amit olvastam, és kezdem azt hinni, hogy ezeket nem elolvasni kell, hanem megnézni.

Az egész történet arról szól, hogy mindenki fejvesztve tervezkedik a másik ellen és eközben sorban halnak meg a szereplők. Lehet, hogy velem van a baj, de ez számomra nem volt érdekes egyáltalán.

A szereplők megintcsak szörnyen buták voltak, ami még jobban elvette a kedvem az olvasástól. 

Alig vártam, hogy vége legyen a könyvnek. Valószínűleg soha nem fogok erre a könyvre gondolni és nem is akarok.

Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did but maybe because it’s my second Shakespeare book it was more enjoyable. Also hamlet was a mood sometimes.

The feelings of betrayal and anger are present throughout the entirety of this play. By the end though, you are put through so many twists and turns you no longer know what to think. This play is extremely well written. However, the play does fall victim to some tropes, unnecessary segments, and curious plot holes. However, these minor gripes are not enough to tug the entire play down. This play is fantastic, especially for its time.
