I am having difficulty in finding quotes from critics about their own views and opinions on Hamlet and even specific characters within the play. They are particually useful in my exam you see xD I am looking at something like this

John Doe stated that Hamlet was "his least favourite character, full of meaningless words and a procrastinator who needed to take his finger out." However by looking at the text it can be said that Hamlet is not a coward or a procrastinator at all, just a man of intelligence who is in a complicated situation due to his vow to his fathers ghost not to harm his mother in anyway, and killing her husband would cause her grief.

Its mainly names I need to drop and paraphrase their views :D

Off the top of my head try Eliot or Goethe
