3.0/5.0
Eu acho que no geral é bom, não foi uma leitura muito prazerosa e um livro que eu consegui digerir facilmente. Foi bem cansativo e entediante pra mim ler, mas acho que só porque real não faz meu estilo mesmo. Achei bem machista o desenvolvimento da personagem Ophelia e completamente desnecessário. Mas o intuito da peça é ser uma tragédia completa. Assisti a peça no teatro mês passado e foi uma ótima experiência, os atores foram super adoráveis e a atuação deles foi incrível, mas ler a peça realmente não me pegou muito não.

Overall, I think it’s good, but it wasn’t a very enjoyable read or a book I was able to like easily. It was quite tiring and boring for me to read, but I think that’s just because it’s really not my style. I found Ophelia’s character development to be very sexist and completely unnecessary. But the play’s intent is to be a complete tragedy. I watched the play in the theater in a school field trip and it was a really great experience, the actors were super lovely and their performances were amazing, but reading the play just didn’t grab me at all.
