Read first in high school, then reread this year. One of my absolute favorite Shakespeare plays. Just so much to love! How can you not love Hamlet?
I love the plot. Most of the humor is right up my alley, but when you are are not used to Shakespearean English, this proves to be a difficult and extensive read. Most definitely worth it, however.
Για το έργο δεν είμαι αρμόδιος να μιλήσω. Η μετάφραση πάντως από τον προσφάτως εκλιπόντα Ερρίκο Μπελιέ ήταν εξαιρετική με εντελώς κατανοητό και ρέοντα λόγο, εν αντιθέσει με τον Ρώτα, που κάνει τον Σαίξπηρ προσιτό και απολαυστικό.
ΑΜΛΕΤ: Η Δανία είναι φυλακή.
ΡΟΖΕΝΚΡΑΝΤΖ: Άρα και ο κόσμος όλος.
ΑΜΛΕΤ: Η μεγαλύτερη! Με τοίχους πολλούς και πτέρυγες και μπουντρούμια...

This is my favorite of Shakespeare's plays so far; the first tragedy that's brought me to tears. It's no wonder to me that it's still extant. The characters are relatable (if a little caricaturish), the jokes make me laugh out loud, and the plot is quickly paced—never a dull moment.
The side by side was a nice addition. It helped me understand some of the difficult passages.

I found that I could relate to a 400 year old character.
