The end scene is a WTF moment. I started reading Hamlet around Shakespeare's birthday in April. I was super into it at first then I just completely lost interest in the middle. It is a very long play. Having to force myself to finish, I am very thankful I did. Every time I read Shakespeare I am amaz...

Really enjoyable play of Shakespeare. I'm glad to see his tragedies are much better now since *cough* Titus Andronicus *cough*.The only thing is that this play can get a little confusing if you don't have a wiki right next to you.

Favorite Shakespeare of those I've read, absolutely. Also, every famous quote ever apparently comes from Hamlet if you didn't know.

I’ve seen quite a few Shakespeare productions and have read several other works. Surprisingly, in all my years, Hamlet has escaped me.

Hamlet. What would the english language be without this play? The lines in this play reverberate through the english language down the centuries.I'm usually pretty good at being able to read shakespearean english and wring meaning from the lines, but this one was somehow tougher than most. So-- Haml...

Another book I like in which everyone goes crazy and a lot of people die. I do worry about myself.Anyway, best of Shakespeare that I've read so far. Full of Big Important Speeches where Big Important People say Big Important Things. Sounds like pretty dull stuff but isn't. Confusing ear-poison th...
