Anyone got any good Hamlet revision notes? My teacher's a bit terrible, and I'm panicking!

I have a whole file of notes but it's not like I can just transcribe them for you. Try buying the Hamlet York Notes (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hamlet-York-Notes-Advanced/dp/058278428X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1202248278&sr=8-1) Good luck

Yeah I thoroughly recommend the York notes too. They're usually pretty good for the plays. My teacher at A-level was a drunk (seriously) and the york notes were a real life-saver.

My teacher is a miracle worker and has denounced the York notes to.. well yes.. anyway.. I have found the book: Hamlet but Sydney Bolt very helpful and it offers a very well written, structured guide to Hamlet. The section on his speechcraft is particularly interesting. It is 2.99 on Amazon.

The York notes are good for a general outline and quote spotting, not bad on themes either but if you want deep insight and interesting discussion try Bolt's book.
