Hamlet+Helper

http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/hamlet/

As many student know, sparknotes is a website that contains many summaries and notes of various books in a classes cirriculum. And, though some are skeptical, if used correctly sparknotes can be extremely beneficial. They should never substitute reading the entire book, but can be very helpful since they have a charectar list, plot over veiw, study guides, and more. The area of the Hamlet spark notes I want to focus on, is the Plot Overveiw, and the actual break down of the Acts, and Scenes. These pages can be extremely valuble when reading Hamlet, because as we all know with Shakespere having such a wide, and advanced vocabulary, you spend most of your time trying to figure out what the charectars are saying, rather than being able to understand the play itself, let alone going deeper into themes and such. So, with reading Sparknotes before we continue with the play, you can easily understand what is going on at that point in time, and focus on analyzing other areas of this remarkable, and infamous work. :)
