Hamlet by William Shakespeare - 3/5 🪩

I had to read Hamlet in preparation for my English final, but my prof said we should also watch the film, so I did both at the same time. The play is brilliant, especially for its time. However, it really didn't need to be that long. I understand that it was written when theatre was one of the only forms of entertainment, so the length makes sense, but I fell asleep four times trying to get through it.
