By far my favorite Shakespearean play alongside Othello and A Midsummers Night Dream. Finally something that didn't make me want to throw the book against a wall or directly at Shakespeare's face, cursing him for writing hot garbage in difficult language (like the Merchant of Venice). Hamlet is the hero that everyone wants to believe in. He is the epitome of the lost and confused souls, the psychologically tortured and the prime example of society's loss of youth. Through this book, we learn more about what types of responsibilities are right for certain types of people. We learn what betrayal does to people and how revenge is contemplated in all aspects of the individuals society. Hamlet can relate to so many different characters, which makes him more likable and more eager to try to understand. I now understand why this book is something that all teachers eventually teach their students, because of such complexities that paved ways for other authors and protagonists /antagonists to follow.
