nah fuck off man

DAMN... even if i saw this coming, the narrative style... donna tartt, you're insane.

at this point the tension isn’t what WILL happen, but WHEN.

oh my god... i was NOT prepared for this scene...

that one friend group you make in the first year of college

OHHH I'M INTRIGUED NOW

i find myself deeply charmed by the book’s literary references.

i hate my boyfriend final boss

this is a cry for help. the fig tree analogy is haunting me again.

my poor ophelia :(

"each time i picked up a german dictionary or a german book, the very sight of those dense, black, barbed-wire letters made my mind shut like a clam."

HAHAHAHAHAHA ESTHER WHY ARE YOU SO RELATABLE
i'm exactly THIS fed up with german

"i thought i'd be a professor and write books of poems or write books of poems and be an editor of some sort."

my whole future plan right here lol

"my drink was wet and depressing. each time i took another sip it tasted more and more like dead water."

damn sylvia, i just started the book.

act 3 hits different when you know how irreversible this moment really is.

umm well that took a turn

everything feels so... darkly whimsical. i'm loving it.

i've been waiting a long time to meet you... finally, here we are, angela.

turns out maggie is a little too good with words. i find myself unexpectedly touched.

THE COMMUNICATION ISSUES ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE

it's devastating to be hurt by the silence of someone you care about, and knowing there’s nothing you can do about it feels unbearably helpless. unfortunately, i deeply relate to agnes.

oh my god, agnes, your husband has communication issues and i'm PISSED

“something is rotten in the state of denmark.”

this has got to be one of the most iconic lines not only in shakespeare, but in literature, precisely because of how much it reveals with so little.

reading it again, act 1 already makes it clear that hamlet's tragedy isn’t just his father’s death, it’s how everyone around him twists grief into suspicion and chaos. i can’t help but relate to feeling stuck between what’s expected and what feels right.

is william even in this book at all

i might have bought the arden shakespeare edition of hamlet even though i already had the penguin classics one, purely for my shakespeare class (absolutely not because i love shakespeare a little too much and have a weakness for scholarly editions of his work). but wow, that introduction was so good i have zero regrets.

so far my only problem with this book is that it makes me want to keep reading when i have an exam tomorrow. oh my god

i don't know how to explain it, but every time "hamnet's father" gets mentioned, i get goosebumps.
