Hamlet 3/5

Poems and sonnets check, the tempest check, Anthony and Cleopatra check, Macbeth check, Othello check, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark check, Julis Caesar check, The Taming of the Shrew check, Romeo and Juliet check, A Midsummer Night’s dream check, and Titus Andronicus check. Currently reading Much Ado About Nothing.

If you really think about the story of the Trojan War, and all the futile back and forth and blood and death, it seems that the Iliad and all related works constitute one of the all-time great literary portrayals of hell. In Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare seems to take that position exactly. They call it a tragedy, but it reads like a black comedy.
