"There are things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."Hamlet by William Shakespeare

Being regarded as Shakespeare's one of his four Great Tragedies, Hamlet is the longest and most whinny one. Written between 1599 and 1601, it is also Shakespeare's longest play. Many schools used to teach it because of its fame, yet students usually find it tedious and Hamlet's rhetoric extremely hard to follow.

Personally, I am more concerned with Hamlet's misogyny than his annoying indecisiveness, which is reasonably his tragic flaw as a tragic hero. Othello is misogynistic too, but Hamlet is on a whole different level. Of course this doesn't represent Shakespeare's own vision on gender -- just that of the Elizabethean and Jacobean eras. However, if Hamlet says this again now -- "The lady doth protest too much, me thinks." -- he would immediately get cancelled in an instant. (Plus Ophelia has been nothing but sweet to him.)
