Hamlet by William Shakespeare
4.25

Strong character development: Complicated

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

The "everybody dies" classic.
Sometimes it was a bit of a drag – those endless monologues, and yeah, the language is tough (it is Shakespeare, after all).

Still, Hamlet is a mood. And honestly, if I could deliver long dramatic speeches like that, I absolutely would.

Love in all its forms, the mystery of death, madness, corruption, revenge – the themes that are portayed in the drama. 

All that’s left to say is: f*ck Claudius. Long (should) live young Hamlet.
