“This Shakespeare is an alchemist of words, an alchemist of art, and a connoisseur of people. The mud he touches turns into gold, every word he uses ceases to be English and turns into Shakespearean, taking on another, more meaning. says Sabahattin Eyüboğlu about Shakespeare. Even though I have only read five of his works, I completely agree with this statement. Shakespeare is truly a very special poet. In my opinion, the poetic language he uses, his beautiful portrayals of people, his fiction, his criticisms, his humor, everything is wonderful in my opinion. It reflects its period very well.
Hamlet was the first Shakespeare work I read. I read it for the first time last year. This is my second reading. And again, I read it with great pleasure, without getting bored. It is my favorite work. I'm sure I'll read it again from time to time, even as the years pass.
The book is about what happened after the Danish king died and his brother succeeded him as king. Love, revenge, successive murders, intrigue and power relations are the general subject of the book. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable read for you too. Before I go, I would also like to recommend a movie in which this play is told through Ophelia's eyes. 2018's "Ophelia". They brought a different interpretation to Hamlet and I think it was great. Especially the liveliness of those colors in the movie made me feel very nice. Both the book and the movie had a different taste :)
