Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Nota bene: Events are free for members (check your email for your discount code, or just ask me for it).
Hamlet hardly needs any introduction. We'll explore themes of revenge and madness as they appear to this most famous prince, who was torn between thought and action (among other things).
"Hamlet, as a character, bewilders us because he is so endlessly suggestive. Are there any limits to him? His inwardness is his most radical originality; the ever-growing self, the dream of an infinite consciousness, has never been more fully portrayed." —Harold Bloom
While reading, please prepare some written observations, or at the very least some questions for discussion.
I'll begin with some remarks on what I find most interesting, but these meetings are primarily for you to develop your own ideas around the material.
