Such a remarkable bildungsroman: a book of development. The young Hamlet, who has to grow up when his father is suspiciously killed, and his uncle suddenly marries his mother. Hamlet is forced to decide whether or not he will honor his father's ghost who tells him that his own brother has killed him to marry his wife--Hamlet's mother. The story goes on to tell how Hamlet's decision creates the complications and final resolve, but it is amazing how Shakespeare (again) is a master at the psychological reasoning that goes on in one. Besides the book, which is wonderful, the original especially, the movie with Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet is the best I think. ( )

It has some of the most memorable lines in Shakespeare but it's not my favourite. ( )
