galacticvampire 's review for:
A Tragédia de Hamlet, Príncipe da Dinamarca
by William Shakespeare
This annotated edition is everything to me. Shakespeare isn't a Brazilian classic, we never learned anything about his plays in school. So going blind into his work is never productive, specially when you're stubborning your way into reading in old-time English (hi)
The translation really helps with capturing the charm and humour, in a way I thought it would be missing without the original words and meanings. But paired with footnotes giving all needed context, I feel I finally had the chance to truly understand why Shakespeare is so praised.
Hamlet is witty, funny, sarcastic and SO dramatic. This is a story where you know exactly how it'll play out, but can still be fascinated by the road to the end.
(I do want to actually see it performed now)
