Actually first I'll cut and paste these snippets about Hamlet from a chat:
Hamlet was angsty, self-involved and unpleasant. The King, who was also the dead King, was excellent in a very intense way. Ophelia was mostly believable, Polonius was funny, Gertrude wasn't very good but they didn't try making it all oedipal so that didn't matter and I've never really got it like that anyway.
Must to bed. Last night I had Shakespearian dreams including a play within a play/dream.
Oh and Hamlet said the 'To be or not to be' speech at Ophelia which one felt probably contributed to her later demise.
