Read in English Class

It is a character study for sure. The plot and the interesting choices made by the characters were there but there were a lot of filler scenes. The action (or really, the most interesting part of the play) is at the very last scene.
It would have been so much better as a novel.

Also, the fact that it started with Horatio and ended with Horatio was like coming full cycle. Yes yes Horatio best man
