Why are we doing this?
In my opinion, there is great importance in reading Hamlet. The play may be a difficult one but it also has great value. Being able to understand the play as a whole is key because throughout the book, there are messages that are still valid and relatable. Some of the matters addressed though the play are still a part of today's world. It is interesting to see how opinions and cultures change over time. Shakespeare is also a very famous writer. It is interesting to read the play and try to understand why the play has endured. Although it is challenging, one can gain a lot as a result of battling through it as it takes you one step further. The learning from Shakespeare is in the form of both knowledge and life skills. Determination and courage are attributes that can be acquired from reading Shakespeare.
