Bravo! Very well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The presentation is great, but the overflowing beauty of that woman sitting on the background, to me, robs the scene 😍😄🌷

Oedipus also got blood in hand. what's the difference ??

This is not a revenge play, it’s an anti-revenge play.

[@Eshalala-gs7zs]

Elaborate please....

[@lavalamp915]

THANK YOU. I swear up and down Shakespeare wrote satires do the modern tropes and people fell in love and over analyzed to the point the play itself goes over their heads
Just my thoughts, though

[@drymant]

So, what is the conclusion here? That the play distinguishes itself from those before it because it is flawed and therefore not as good as as other works? Is it just a mess, or is it a cunningly disguised mess?

[@AE-xf6ei]

Definitely disguised. I just finished reading it, and there are so many small things that show that the revenge Hamlet wants is definitely not normal. He sees his uncle praying and decides not to kill him then, because he might go to heaven. The revenge in this play is super cool compared to others.
