Hamlet: The Oxford Shakespeare Hamlet by William Shakespeare

challenging fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

My first foray into Shakespeare. This was fun! I read the oxford edition which was a huge help in terms of understanding the text.

I get why this is well renowned and important to the history of theatre and literature, watching a performance of this back in the day would have been a blast. Definitely something I need to re read in the future though, as I feel like a fair bit went over my head, what I understood I enjoyed however.
I like the mixture of comedy,psychology,poetry and dramatics. It's a fun mix.
