A review by jeslis
Hamlet by T.J.B. Spencer, William Shakespeare
challenging
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.0
Notes:
- Starting to realise I prefer Shakespeare's romances and romantic tragedies more than this genre.
- Liked the inevitability of tragedy theme, and the inherent solitary and madness-inducing nature of revenge.
- Very clever, very intricate as always, just didn't really care for this play's story or its more frequently analysed themes very much (eg. inaction, autonomy of women).
