Read in my AP lit class. I'm edgy, and this play was lowkey too edgy for me, but the play was well written! I hated how fast the ending was though.

I loved it junior year of high school, but this reading solidified how incredible and fun it is. Favorite Shakespeare for sure. There would be no Kendall Roy without Hamlet...

“O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

It wasn't bad, but i do believe that Shakespeare didn't like any of the characters he wrote about, 9 dead and 4 of them were in the last scene of the last act
