THE BEST HAMLET WEBSITES
A FOUR STAR website!! Enjoying Hamlet gives you tons of info!
Does Hamlet confuse you? Too many thous &
arts? Before you get totally frustrated with Shakespeare's language &
give up, try this site. I highly recommend it! It'll simply a lot of the
words & make reading so much easier! Obviously it's not a substitute
for reading the original or for class discussions, but it will clear up
some of the muddy confusion!
