Carlingford High and St John's Park High School advanced students are presently studying Shakespeare's Hamlet. Assessments start next week.

Brilliant text.

Yes. I just wish I was more 'english-inclined' so I could access Elizabethan lyric easier.

yeh i did hamlet last year, but it was for module A (with Ros and Guil are Dead), not too bad a text - and yeh the kenneth branagh film version of the play is almost word for word (over 4 hours) - a friend of mine downloaded it, and then gave it to me on USB - beats reading it! but duno if i can upload it anywhere...

We finished this last week, it was really good overall, definitely the best Shakespeare play ive read to date :)
Instead of reading this in class we watched the kenneth branagh version movie while reading the book - an enjoyable experience :)
