Ready for Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan! And why didn't we have graphic novels when we studied this in high school?

hamlet was serving absolute emo boy realness. lana del ray plagiarized “i am f*cking crazy… but i am free” from this prince of denmark

hamlet is a teenage boy

Hamlet, or, Amleto

It's just about possible one of you didn't know, but everybody dies.

Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief. Your noble son is mad.

Nay, but to live
In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,
Stewed in corruption, honeying and making love
Over the nasty sty!

Confess yourself to heaven;
Repent what’s past, avoid what is to come,
And do not spread the compost on the weeds

Not where he eats, but where a is eaten. A certain convocation of politic worms are e’en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet. We fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots.

A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a King, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.

“Ere we were two days old at sea, a pirate of very warlike appointment gave us chase. Finding ourselves too slow of sail, we put on a compelled valour, and in the grapple I boarded them. On the instant they got clear of our ship, so I alone became their prisoner.”

King: Gertrude, do not drink!
Queen: I will, my Lord, I pray you pardon me
King: (aside) it is the poisoned cup; it is too late



(Does buying the bi-lingual Anglo-Italian version of this in Rome and reading {perhaps only the left-hand pages} make this my first book completed in Italian?!)

Great (kinda depressing) story although I wouldn't have understood shit without the commentary so thank god for that (also the ending kinda felt rushed but in a way it made sense or some?) (oh also Hamlet might just be the first case of the sassy man apocalypse)

Graphic novel interpretation of Shakespeare's classic.

My favorite Shakespeare.
