Hamlet by William Shakespeare
5.0
A delightful curriculum reading that offers the thrill that it promises. Ophelia's death and the scene where Hamlet accuses the Queen of committing crime against both God and morality are two instances that stuck with me the most. The play itself is full of metaphors and clap-backs that make even a 21st century person like myself gasp or nod in more than simple agreement.
Hamlet's despair, the desire to have his revenge, Laertes' vengeance, it all makes you feel so involved and flipping a page after page. It's obvious why Shakespeare's are considered timeless and he himself is someone we know very little about, yet he's given us so much to look up to and reference for all the future times.
