What is the effectiveness of punctuation in Shakespeare's Hamlet?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Well, it rather depends on the edition. The punctuation in Shakespeare's plays was put in by the typesetters, not the author. The punctuation in the Folio Hamlet and the Second Quarto Hamlet is markedly different, and a modern editor has to pick from one or the other, or substitute other punctuation. Its effectiveness depends on how good a job this particular editor has done.
