Ophelia you deserved so much better😔

English is my second language and I can read modern English books easily but this was a hell to read so I dnfed this and bought a Turkish copy and read that one. So kinda not a dnf but cuz I have 2 copies I decided to count this one as a dnf.

so long. jesus christ. i can’t get myself to like shakespeare’s tragedies as much as i wish i could, i can only think about them with my theatre nerd brain rather than my english nerd brain, and as a theatre person, working on hamlet would kind of suck.
