Hammy, you would’ve loved Holden Caulfield. I’ll let you decide if that’s a compliment or not.

#JusticeForOphelia. Stripped so badly of her autonomy that she saw death as the only way out.

Notes:
- Starting to realise I prefer Shakespeare's romances and romantic tragedies more than this genre.
- Liked the inevitability of tragedy theme, and the inherent solitary and madness-inducing nature of revenge. 
- Very clever, very intricate as always, just didn't really care for this play's story or its more frequently analysed themes very much (eg. inaction, autonomy of women).

A good work, but arguably much longer than need-be.
