Esta es mi obra favorita de Shakespeare.

La he leído al menos una docena de veces y cada vez le encuentro algo nuevo que deja el proverbial hamster en mi cabeza corriendo a toda marcha. Desde mi primera lectura me sentí muy reflejado en el Príncipe de Dinamarca, siempre me da esa sensación de que escribieron la obra pensando en mi específicamente, sé que suena ridículo (y quizá un poco egocéntrico) pero me veo muy reflejado en el personaje de Hamlet y sus reflexiones a lo largo de la obra. 

Todo se vuelve una puesta en escena al tiempo que es un juego de apariencias como de palabras, de medias verdades, de deseos. Es curioso, y a su vez obvio, que el motor aparente de la trama,

la venganza de Hamlet contra su tío Claudio y su madre se disuelva en sus pensamientos llegando a nada, un mero acto impulsivo cuando ya no queda tiempo para mucho más.

Es un final más que adecuado al tiempo que quita cualquier fanfarria o prestigio a lo que ha hecho, lo cual es más recurrente de lo que uno podría llegar a pensar;

el encuentro con los soldados de Fortimbras, el asesinato de Rosencratz y Guilderstein, la treta de La Ratonera, su regreso a Dinamarca de Inglaterra

en fin.
