 * Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a tale of love, hate, war, and murder. This poetically and emotionally rich play has been around for over 400 years, and there are still near infinite interpretations for its major themes. In this unit, you will read one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, looking at the influence of literary, poetic, and plot devices, as well as the qualities of drama, as opposed to other genres.
