A review by sophiesapphire
Hamlet by William Shakespeare

5.0

I really enjoyed this one when I had to study this in high school. Everything about this is perfect, from the plot to the characters to the atmosphere. I loved Hamlet himself, such a fascinating character! He is brooding, he is amusing, he is clever. He has to deal with the revelation of his father's "foul and unnatural" murder, that his uncle is to blame - who has now very conveniently married his mother Gertrude. There of course is always the debate about his madness: how much is he faking it, how much is he genuinely mad? He pushes and pulls poor Ophelia around which brings about her own madness
Spoilerand subsequent death
. The ending is as one expects from Shakesphere, moving and tragic but very beautiful.
