A review by dnietoperafan
Hamlet: Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare

4.0

I’ve been wanting to read Hamlet for a very long time, and to my pleasure, it did not disappoint. The way Shakespeare changes the “traditional” structure of tradegy plays really gives Hamlet a spark that engages the reader. You’re attracted to Hamlet’s action since Scene 1, you want to know how he reacts, how he will act, etc.

The characters all have their own arcs, with a development of actions and feelings (if I’m making myself clear). From Hamlet to Ophelia, from Gertrude to Claudius; they all have development and a contribution to the play.

I really enjoyed the humour, the prose, and the story. I would really recommend reading it.
