Playc. 1600English

Hamlet

William Shakespeare

Shakespeare's longest play. A prince, a ghost, a revenge that won't quite happen — and the most articulate procrastinator in the language.

In Res

The play is what happens when an excellent mind is given a problem that admits no good action. It belongs in any library that takes the relationship between thought and action seriously.
