Bo’s Reviews > Hamlet > Status Update

It’s good. Not great. I can understand Hamlet’s motives really well, and I feel like he’s a very believable character. I am curious how this will end up, I don’t remember what I learned in highschool. Ophelia is such a lovely name. I don’t like how slow I have to read it but it’s fine. Plays are an underrated thing to read for real

I’m reading the Shakespeare made easy version of this, that I found at a thrift store. I like being able to tell what this guy is talking about. I understand that ppl like the English language for its bombastic turns of phrase when emotions are present, but Shakespeare goes over board with this for me. I understand the value, but this way of speaking is is overly ornamental for lack of better term, in my opinion
