Book Reviews of Hamlet (Signet Classics)
Book Review: Hamlet tragic flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
I would like to review hamlet's tragic flaw. Hamlet as a tragic heroeBook Review: 'Thou Shalt not read'
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know, was this book " To good or not to good?" Somewhere in between I guess. Hey give me credit I'm only Twelve years old. Well anyway, this book was not so bad. As Shakespeare Mentioned in Hamlet. " All leave the room exept Hamlet" Or something like that. I have good advise. Read this if you truly understand it, by all Means who am I to judge. But here are some of the books that are the best books in the world.1. JANE EYRE (Charlotte Bronte'
2. EMMA (JANE AUSTEN
3. WUTHERING HEIGHTS (EMILY BRONTE'
4. LITTLE WOMEN (LOUISA MAY ALCOTT
5. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (JANE AUSTEN
6. SOMEWHERE IN TIME (RICHARD MATHESON
7. SENSE AND SENSABILITY (JANE AUSTEN
8. TWENTY THOUSAND LEAUGES UNDER THE SEA. (JULES VERNE
9. AGNES GREY (ANNE BRONTE'
Well as you can see I'm a Bronte&austen Fan
But Shakespeare is good. So read Hamlet if you can.
I recomend it.
Book Review: Hamlet paperback
Summary: 3 Stars
I am in an English Honors class and we studied Hamlet in class. This book was helpful in understanding the language of Shakespeare, but I think the book could have made better footnotes on certain concepts in the book. The publisher does make up for this by inserting a few essays which were helpful in writing my review paper. Overall I give this a 3 star rating due to the lack of better footnotes.Book Review: Reluctant prince eventually avenges his murdered father
Summary: 3 Stars
If your father's ghost dropped by one day and told you to kill your uncle would you do it? It's a pretty big step. Can you picture yourself killing your uncle? And he's the king no less. Alright, there are no kings in America. So say your uncle is the governor. Would you kill him? Hamlet had a lot to think about before going into action. So would I. Well, what the hell, blow him away.Book Review: WORTHLESS, PRENTENTIOUS TRASH
Summary: 1 Stars
All and all this play is atrocious. Though it is acclaimed as the greatest work of drama ever, it is hardly that. People who say such things, have absolutely no credibility. Hamlet's only purpose is to confuse the reader. Any intelligent person can see through his character and realize that he is little more than a feeble mind with a large vocabulary. He is almost the mirror image of Lennie in OF MICE AND MEN, Barnaby Rudge in the Dickens' book of the same name, Benjy in THE SOUND AND THE FURY, or Dogberry in Shakespeare's own MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. The rest of the main characters (Claudius, Gerturde, Polonius, Ophelia, Laertes, The Ghost, Horatio, Rosencrantz, Guildensern, The Player King, Fortinbras, The First Gravedigger, Barnardo, Reynaldo, and Osric) are ridiculous and annoying caricatures. HAMLET would have been a much better play had these characters been eliminated entirely. Their only contribution lies in the fustian and obfuscating nature of a horrid play. Take my advice: if you want some real entertainment, read Shakespeare's TITUS ANDRONICUS with the great intellect Aaron the Moor, the forerunner of Iago, or THE SPANISH TRAGEDY, containing the sublime Hieronimo, the forerunner of Jane Austen's Anne Elliot. You will find these plays far superior to the "aesthetic failure," as T.S. Eliot commented, otherwise known as HAMLET.
