About Hamlet
Product Description " Hamlet holds a mirror up to our lives, for we too must act in a fallen world, even when the way is unclear and when our proof is dismissed by others. We too are called to kill serpents, to 'lose all' for the kingdom. Because it takes great courage to confront the enemy head on and might cost us our reputation or our lives, we, like Hamlet, would rather think and play with words than act." -From Jayson Grieser's Introduction Prince Hamlet discovers that his father was murdered by his uncle Claudius--who is now on his father's throne and in his father's bed. When he is charged with vengeance by his father's ghost, Hamlet coldly plans the killing even as he questions his dark role as avenger. After he accidentally kills the wrong man, Hamlet flirts with insanity, old lovers, and sychophantic courtiers while the whole Danish court destabilizes around him.

Review [Shakespeare] was the man who of all modern and perhaps ancient poets had the largest and most comprehensive soul.... When he describes anything, you more than see it, you feel it too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater commendation: he was naturally learned; he needed not the spectacles of books to read nature; he looked inwards, and found her there. --John Dryden We can say of Shakespeare, that never has a man turned so little knowledge to such great account. --T.S. Eliot About the Author William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was the greatest playwright in the English language, penning 37 plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet. He also wrote a famous collection of sonnets. Elizabeth Howard is an adjunct faculty member at Bethlehem College & Seminary and is pursuing her PhD in English at the University of Minnesota.
