Eliza’s Reviews > Hamlet > Status Update

Fifteen years ago this wasn’t my favorite and once again I’m finding Hamlet to be too much of a misogynistic, conniving, narcissistic little shit to fully appreciate the plot’s craft and brilliance of some of the soliloquies. Ham hates Ophelia for her obedience and lack of action, then calls her a whore anyways. Gertrude is equally cursed. Centuries of hype for this play, for this character… from men.
