Hamlet

I liked this play, I really did. Almost as much as Macbeth. I still can't decide whether Hamlet seems genuinely crazy or if it is an act. Reading it, he seems more conniving. But watching it on film, he seems truly insane. That could be the particular performance, though. Someday I'd like to see it as a play as well as on film. Anyway, by the fourth act I knew where the story was going. Everyone was going to die. The poisoned cup, the backup plan, was just too much. Things were bound to go south from then on. And lo and behold, all the main characters, except Horatio, were killed by their plotting and crimes. It just goes to show that poison, like faking your own death, is always a bad idea.
