Hamlet

Rating: ★★★★

Method of Reading: Class copy of Shakespeare in Performance: Hamlet, compiled by Thomas Monsell, unknown number of pages
Dates of Reading: November 4, 2011-November 17, 2011
Author: William Shakespeare
Publication Year: 1603
Recommended to: Fans of Shakespeare and general theater. Jane Austen fans, I have now realized, may also find a literary match in Shakespeare's works.
Quotes: As always, this is Shakespeare, I'm not going to fit everything I want here.

Movie: Ohhhh yeah. Many. Lots and lots. And lots. Playing Hamlet is a way to prove an actor's (or even actress's) chops as a seriously accomplished performer.

My View: A refreshing, genius stroke of Shakespeare. Romance, adventure, mystery, family, drama, and comedy all in one! Plus, the writing is mind-bendingly subtle and brilliant.
