Personally, I’m giving the play 5 stars because I’ve enjoyed the characters a lot, in particular Hamlet and Ophelia. In the case of Hamlet, I admire his verbal wit  and ability to make up such intelligent responses, BUT as a person… let’s say I was rooting for him (because he deserved justice) but I also wanted to slap him MANY times. In the case of Ophelia, I empathized with her so much and I feel for her. The play was fast paced and it has some banger quotes such as “Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.” Furthermore, the philosophical reflections are absolutely outstanding and very interesting. So yeah, it’s more than enough for me to get 5/5 ⭐️

Hammy, you would’ve loved Holden Caulfield. I’ll let you decide if that’s a compliment or not.

#JusticeForOphelia. Stripped so badly of her autonomy that she saw death as the only way out.
