bailedI made another attempt at reading this classic and I so badly wanted to like it and I couldn‘t even finish it. I know I‘m a minority in this but I‘ve always thought Ibsen was a better playwright.
BookNook You're not alone. Among Shakespeare's critics you have, T.S. Eliot who declared: “Hamlet... is an artistic failure“, stating it was a “mismatch between emotion and object.” Leo Tolstoy hated Shakespeare altogether calling his plays “trivial and positively bad,” and said people admired them only because of cultural pressure. He thought Hamlet was confused, immoral, and full of nonsense. (edited) 1w
