Hamlet

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is not only the greatest play ever written, anywhere, anytime, in any language, but also one of the most psychological literary works of all time in any genre.

Therefore, it is fitting that a page of the Psychology Wikia be devoted to the study of this remarkable, before-its-time exploration into madness, especially depression, schizophrenia, paranoia and incest.

The mode of study will be collective and exceedingly simple.

Since the text is online, and linked to an existing concordance which is based in the Shakespeare Wikia, Psychology students and scholars may use that text to make references and notes.

To avoid confusion, these might be marked with a little "psy," at the end of each.

Links to the appropriate lines will gathered as per the instructions that may be found on the top of each concordance page. (To be Continued)

For example, here is the link to Hamlet's description of what we would call a symptom of clinical depression.
