The Mousetrap

Date of Review:  May 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you're tickled with the remotest desire to read a Shakespearean play, Hamlet is a great choice. Pass it up otherwise.
Review: Shakespeare's never done it for me. I do very much appreciate the displayed talent, particularly so with his sonnets, but the whole enjoyment factor never really materialized. Despite a somewhat limited exposure to Shakespeare's plays, Hamlet has...

What a piece of work is Hamlet

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: Hamlet is William Shakespeare's masterpiece. It's a play that grows more meaningful every time you read it.
Review: This was my year for Hamlet. Through the course of the past 12 months, I've seen four different productions of Hamlet, some of them more than once. Each production had its own interpretations, underscoring what very rich text this best of all...

To be, or not to be . . . what was the question again?

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2009
The Bottom Line: Segments of infinitely quotable text and soul touching soliloquies will make Hamlet an enjoyable play that, once read, will forever remain a part of the lucky reader’s soul.
Review: Hamlet, one the most renowned Shakespearean tragedies, bane of high school students everywhere, and delight of ardent bibliophiles, follows Shakespeare’s usual tragic formula. There are ample opportunities for betrayal, miscommunication, rumination,...

To Read or not to Read?

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is definetly a work that everyone should read. It is one of Shakespeare's best and has an excellent plot.
Review: My senior AP English class in high school has been reading Hamlet and discussing it for over a month. Most of the students seem to like but not love Hamlet.

Background- Hamlet fits the basic definition of the tragedy genre. The main...

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2000
Review: It is so hard to try and write an overall review of Hamlet as there are endless subjects and things to explain, but I will try and explain as much as I can. Also as we all know, there have been proffessers tryig to explain the play, all their loves...

Another interpretation of a classic

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a must read for anyone interested in English literature. It is one of the greats and may be a topic at cocktail parties.
Review: The line that exists between good and evil is easily blurred and Shakespeare's Hamlet exploits the ambiguity of the distinction for dramatic flavor. A close reading of the play will expose the villains as heroes and vice versa. As soon as the reader...

Spiritual reassessment

Date of Review:  May 9, 2000
Review:
The general idea of Hamlet is that Hamlet father [also named Hamlet] has been murdered by his uncle Claudius, who is now married to Hamlet?s mother, Gertrude, and is trying to kill off Hamlet as well, unfortunately Hamlet is trying to kill him...

Need a good book, try Hamlet, heres my thoughts

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2000
Review: The play, Hamlet, has been called the ultimate tragedy since Hamlet is by far Shakespeare?s most intelligent character, yet he is unable to act. He is in one man soldierly, scholarly, and honest, according to Ophelia. He is the only one of...

A Story of Revenge

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2000
Review: CAUTION! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!


HAMLET is without a doubt a classic play written by none other than William Shakespeare. In my review, I question Hamlet's indecisiveness. That is not to say HAMLET is a bad story, I am simply...

Hamlet: The Actions vs. Words

Review: For generation upon generation children have been taught to use force in their language and to restrain from force in their physical actions. However, it is this very hesitancy towards action that has lead to the downfall of countless characters...
