Hamlet Introduction

After watching the video introduction for Hamlet I began question several things about what I expect of it. I have read several plays by Shakespeare, which lets me understand a little more of what to expect of Hamlet, but I’m still not very sure about it.

I had always thought of Hamlet as a very depressing play, but from what the Introduction by Kenneth Branagh showed me it isn’t as depressing. But this introduction is very brief for me to take a guess of what Hamlet is going to be like. But at least I now believe it won’t be such a tragic play as I thought it would be, although that perspective may and most probably will change once we read it in class.
