I have mixed feeling on Hamlet. On one hand, it is the classic Shakespeare Tragedy (and we all know what that means) and is slightly predictable. But on the other hand, Hamlet is incredibly relatable. I mean, I'm not in the same emotional turmoil as Hamlet is in any sense but it is still incredibly relatable. Where Hamlet has to deal with the death of his beloved father, the faithlessness of his "harlot" mother, the plotting and schemes of King Claudius, and the advances of Ophelia; I simply deal with balancing college applications, scholarships, family responsibility, and then work. But Hamlet's indecisiveness and personal turmoil is something that almost ambitious teen faces. And seeing Hamlet's cool and balanced responses to his situation is inspiring.
