Shakespeare Reflection

Submitted by Sky Kalfus on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 12:50.

I wonder if Shakespeare had any idea that 4,000 years after he wrote Hamlet, students would still be reading his play and finding it engaging. Like the Oddesey, the story of Hamlet has incredible vitality. It's ability to resonate with people so many years after its time shows how little human beings have changed, and makes us wonder what current texts will have the same longetivity.

When I began Hamlet, I expected it to be interesting- but not very engaging. I didn't expect to be reading ahead of the assigned pages. But despite the unfamiliar language, I find it relatively fast reading.
