One of shakespeare's four great tragedies.
Hamlet notice that the father's death is a murder.
Hamlet vowed vengeance.
but I think murder is not good.
I think that there was an another way more.

I sympathize with Hamlet. If I were in his place, I would want to do th same thing.But to commit murder is not allowed. Many people are hurt in this book. So this story made me sad.

Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark.He came back his country from where he studied abroad because he knew his father's death.The new king was his uncle,Claudius.One night Hamlet met the ghost of his father and heared the truth that his father was poisoned by Claudius.So he tried to revenge.
I enjoyed this book.But there are complicated expressions.So it was too difficult to understand.This story is long and interesting.I was considered so much.I want to read this book after I can read English more. ( )

I knew this book, when I was high school student.
But I have never read this book because I think that this book is difficult.
I heard that this book is interesting, so I want to read.
This book keep me in suspense.
I think Hamlet is very poor person. Because his father was killed by his uncle.
And his mother married the uncle. When he revenge the uncle, he died.
Althogh I think that this book is not difficult, this book is poor story. ( )

Hamlet is a prince of Denmark. But his father ware killed by his uncle. One day, he hear about that. And he think he want to take revenge.
I read Shakespeare's story. So I'm interested in the stories written by him. There are many death in the story, so I was in a littele depressed state. But the last of the story is exciting. ( )
