Helpful Hamlet resources!

Alright, English 12 folks...we're reading Hamlet! You can handle it, I promise. And, it's a pretty interesting and important play. Here are some resources to help you out:

The full text is here. If you ever forget your text at school you can find it here.

This site has some summaries of the scenes. It can help to read the text, then read a summary to check your understanding. Remember, summaries and other study aids should be used to ENHANCE your reading of the play, not REPLACE your reading of the play.

This might be my favorite resource--Stick Figure Hamlet. It's the full text of the play, done as a stick-figure novel. It's fantastic, and a great aid to understanding. Check it out!

Additionally, here's that "Insider's Guide" video. It takes you through the main points of the story--it's helpful!
