Thanks, I posted a shorter, less eloquent version of the same idea. Drives me crazy when half-read literature is misused.
I am obsessed with Hamlet. I've seen dozens of productions, but still find the Branagh film version, unabridged of course, to be the best. I watched the first half with my ten year old son last week. Never too early to start with great literature.
And every time I read/see Hamlet I see something new. What a work of genius!
