Shakespeare Poll: Is Hamlet a sympathetic character?
Did you want the Hamlet character to succeed or did you find to be a jerkfaced brat and want him to fail?

Oh yeah, I totally hoped he was going to kill everyone and get revenge. That's how they rolled back then.

So who didn't like him? I find it interesting that I never even considered that to be an option.

If you didn't think it was an option, then why the poll? |

Been watching a lot of Dexter. Finding a lot of comparisons between the show and Hamlet. Actually made me think about this very question.

He's a punk, and he talks funny.

If you are going to take revenge then do so.
Don't spend an entire play, fartin' around about it.

Totally agree. Hamlet was a whiner.
Now Richard III! There's a guy I'd take out for a beer to pick his brain. |
