  5. The resource I found most helpful was spark notes because it had the modern english version of the play, which made it a lot easier for me to understand. I will definitely watch the movie when I have some free time.

  6. Since Hamlet is a very complicated play, I personally found Sparknotes very easy for me. Not only did it show the original text of Hamlet, but it also showed a modern version for us. It helped me to understand the play and even get very interested in it!

  7. I really found SparkNotes helpful because it boiled down Hamlet to simple, easy to read English. I initially thought Hamlet would be boring, but after using SparkNotes, I realized its actually not that bad! It's a very interesting play that gets you thinking.
    By the way, I like Hamlet's shirt in the picture Khala Kim posted above. XD
