4.5

There’s a reason that this book has so many famous lines. I really enjoyed the overall themes, and how it didn’t matter how smart Hamlet was, there was no escape. It will always amaze me how Shakespeare can write an entire novel/play in blank verse, I couldn’t even write a line. However, if I did t have the instruction of my English teacher, I think I would be lost at sea.
