关于Hamlet的意思和用法的提问

A: Hamlet is a famous play written by Shakespeare. It has a lot of old and complex speech.

So, I think the person is saying "'I' wasn't expecting 'them' to speak so much better than 'I' can."

A: 햄릿은 다른 종류의 영화와 너무 비슷해요.

A: Yes it is. Contemporary means someone who lived/existed in the same time as him.

"a contemporary of his" is the passive form of "his contemporary." The sentence means that one of Hamlet's contemporaries said that he (Hamlet) delighted everyone. :)

A: I saw him playing Hamlet last year = last year, I went to see a play and he was the actor playing Hamlet in it

I saw him to play Hamlet last year = last year, I had to visit him so that I could be Hamlet in a play

A: I think it's missing something, do you mean "I think that was probably 'the best' Hamlet I have ever seen in a London theatre in my entire life."? Of course maybe you meant 'the worst'! Other than that, the sentence is excellent!

I hope this is helpful!

A: It sounds natural but I would add "simply"

They think Hamlet is simply seducing Ophelia rather than going to marry her.

To make it plain that the seduction is not with a view to a marital relationship.

Also I am not sure why but I prefer "intending to" to "going to."

They think Hamlet is simply seducing Ophelia rather than intending to marry her.

I guess it is because seducing and intending form a pair -- Hamlet's actions -- whereas going is just part of the future tense and does not imply an action on Hamlets part so it does not quite form a pair with, or replace "seducing."

A: thank you so much!

A: yes

A: I would say: Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays.
Generally, in English, possessive adjectives go first.

Examples include:
This is my brother's smelliest sock.
I enjoy Drake's new album.
Simple by the Moth and the Flame is the world's prettiest, loveliest song.

A: Thank you :)
