The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

     William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He wrote the tragedy «Hamlet» and since 17^th century it became one of the most famous literature works. 

     I have to say that out of all the Shakespeare plays that I have read, I enjoyed this one the most. This is only the second Shakespeare play that I have read by the way, Romeo and Juliet, being the first.

     Hamlet is torn between his great sadness and his desire for the revenge of his father’s murder. Hamlet has survived as literature's most enduring hero is the untenable dilemma in which he finds himself—a young man of immense talents, bereft, despairing, and angry, who has no idea how to proceed in a corrupt world. Hamlet presents us with a universal conundrum: how are any of us to live in this life? How are we to know -what is just, moral, or true when all around us lies confusion and loss?

     Saying about language, it is superb. Shakespeare uses rhetoric to convey many kinds of meaning with just one line, which makes every line very intense and open to a variety of interpretations. There is ample use of jokes, puns and metaphors.
     Anyways, I liked the setting, there were some interesting themes that were portrayed in the play: revenge, Betrayal, Love, the whole internal life vs. the external life in the castle. I enjoyed reading the last lines of the play and I think that the end worked really well. Most of all I sympathize to Horatio. He was a little more naive than little, I think, but he was a powerful character that shows the difference in the people that live in the castle and those that don’t. 

     Frankly saying, this story should read everyone at least once in their lives (and preferably two). A heartfelt recommendation, for now, is enough.  "Take a look in the spacious mirror of Shakespeare. Look carefully, you will see yourself. "
