Could read it over and over. Heart wrenching in so many ways. Taught it this time around-- good fun for the HS class.

Will kill myself before rereading this

I read this for my literature class : while the story is very good and I love the parallel between the characters, I honestly could not understand the text in itself without reading a modern version of it.

Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting / That would not let me sleep (V.2 5)

"There seems to be a curious symbolism in the gravedigger's having entered upon his occupation at the same time as Hamlet entered into being, as if preparation for death began from the day of birth."
