    Personally, I think Hamlet is the biggest villain in English Literature. He cannot cope with life and everyone is to blame, Claudius is Mister bad, Gertrude is the worst mother on the planet, Polonius is a double dealing waste of space, Laertes can fight back, Rosencrantz and Guildenstein are dispensable as well as Guidenstein and Rosencrantz. As for poor old Ophelia there is not much passion there. For all the young passionate lovers of Shakespeare do not take the play at face value or as your tutors have taught you. Here is a different take, everyone that hero worships Hamlet dies, the only character that sees through the prince is the grave digger. All I am saying is look at the play again and figure out for yourself who the real hero is. Maybe Shakespeare has been misunderstood, perhaps Hamlet is the villain of the play. All I ask for is a fair hearing? At least it is a different take. All I hope for is that the next director can try something different.
