In my last reading update, I mentioned wanting to read Hamlet by William Shakespeare after I've finished Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Indeed, I have started reading the play, and two scenes into it, I am very intrigued! Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most famous works and I've heard wonderful praise about it. In Denmark, there seems to be unrest after its king, the protagonist Hamlet's father, died. The guards of the castle claim to see the ghost of the dead king, and report the news to Hamlet. Hamlet also seems to have resentful feelings toward the new king of Denmark, his uncle, and is appalled at his mother's hastiness in marrying him. I do admit the difficulty of reading a Shakespearean work for pleasure, but I hope that with enough resources and notes, I will be able to get through the play with enjoyment.
For sure you will.
