How to use Hamlet in a sentence?

1. Northrop Frye:

   A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.

2. Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire:

   Hamlet is a course and barbarous play. One might think the work is the product of a drunken savage's imagination.

3. William Shakespeare:

   Hamlet Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel Polonius By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet Or like a whale Polonius Very like a whale.

4. Tom Masson:

   Hamlet is the tragedy of tackling a family problem too soon after college.

5. A. Whitney Griswold:

   Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam.
