very nice. horatio's my favorite for sure.

Hamlet faking “crazy” whilst Ophelia slowly descends into madness in the background…checks out

I think that this story is so incredible about how Hamlet is driven mad by his fathers ghost but also the conspiracy surrounding his death and how he’s driven mad by his obsessive behaviour over framing the person who did it. Love the ending as it’s just so fast paced about everything and just keeps getting better. Amazing would totally recommend to anyone wanting to read Shakespeare

I got it stuck in my head that I should check out some Shakespeare so I did. It's way more brutal than the Lion King and now I get the reference when I listen to Prince of Denmark records.

more like 2.5 stars? anyway hamlet’s a sassy little bitch and i like ophelia :)))

ok it’s been like. two days and i read it again and have discovered that it’s actually a solid 4 star read. also when hamlet essentially straight up tells the uncle dude that he’s going to hell? ICONIQUE ✨
