There's a reason people call this Shakespeare's masterpiece: it's brilliant. Is Hamlet mad? Is Ophelia a cast-off lover? Why doesn't Hamlet kill Claudius when he has the chance? So many great issues are raised and warrant discussion.

Yes, the language can be tricky, but once you navigate the Elizabethan dialogue, you find a great play that has stood the test of time.

One of my favorites, though it makes me sad beyond belief.
