and hospitality. They were always so nice to me,
and my mom and dad. They were probably the best
neighbors we have ever had. I think Judy was the
first friend I met when I moved here from
Wisconsin. We were both so young, it's bad of me

handle it right now. "Yea Mom I'm upstairs, do you
think that anyone has moved into the Smites house
yet?"Because all the...

First performed in 1603, Hamlet, The Prince of
Denmark is one of the best known works of William
Shakespeare. But while Hamlet has been the subject

times, it has also developed a reputation as a
difficult work to analyze, one that features a
very complicated central character, addresses many
complex themes, and presents the reader with a
multi-layered text which defies easy
interpretation. The character of Hamlet is one of
the most compelling cha...
