Shakespeare is Shakespeare
Teacher said this was required reading. As far as I can tell, it's true to The Bard's style and penchant for requiring 10-15 minutes per page to read. For me, pure homework.

Frailty, thy name is "human"
I had previously read translated versions of Hamlet, but I discovered that nothing compares to reading it in the original English. Shakespeare's words are an art form without equal, exquisitely mixed with a story of human anguish and emotional struggle. No staging of this work or great movie of...

Review
Hamlet is a book written by William Shakespeare. The book is very thrilling; it keeps you on your feet throughout the read. In the beginning it starts out with a family murder then it moves through incest then a big bang at the end as every major character is killed. This book goes to show...

Utter Tripe
What kind of idiot writes this tripe? This is allegedly a "Play" by some long-dead "Master".Well, let me tell, you: it's boring and derivative. It's about this Prince who doesn't get his father's throne, and feels all depressed about it for a while, and fights back against his uncle (who took...
