Shakespearean Quote of the Day

May 6, 2:53 PM
by Erica Jacobs, Education Examiner
 
 
 This quote is from a review of Hamlet by Voltaire--who saw a performance in 1768, 167 years after it was written:

It is a vulgar and barbarous drama, which would not be tolerated by the vilest populace of France, or Italy...one would imagine this piece to be the work of a drunken savage.

I think some of my students might agree with Voltaire's assessment. I, on the other hand, think Hamlet has a bit of all of us in him.
