Hamlet

Hamlet is an amazing story. One that has been retold over and over again. But why is this?

Hamlet is a masterpiece of suspense, murder and the mystery of one man's sanity. That is what is interesting to right about, it sells and it keeps you coming back for more. All of these aspects of Hamlet make for a great modern day movie. The fact that Shakespere was the orginal writer that globbed these combonations together is a masterpiece in itself. I would love to be able to reach inside Hamlet's imagination today and see all of the stories that that man had in his head that he never got to write down on paper. Shakespere once said that, "If you write it down, it will live forever." He was right, 400 years later we are still using him as the basis of our own literature. As I am reading his amazing works I often find myself wondering what he never got to write down. It would be very interesting to know!
