The Ghost Of Hamlet Analysis

Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a story of tragedy and loss. A glimpse into the inner workings of Shakespeare’s mind. The day was January 26, 2018, a windy, chilled night. The theatre performance was set to begin at 8:00 pm at Hollywood Arts Park (Young Circle). I arrived at 7:20 p.m., the "open-grass" gave plenty of space sit, despite this, earlier birds nested in more advantageous views, leaving me to sit far left (one of the more unfavorable view).
