I must admit that when I read Hamlet for the first time, I understood maybe 30% of it. Sometime later I read the annotated version, and enjoyed it a great deal more. Hamlet is full of pop-culture references and off-color jokes that are centuries out of date, and thus inaccessible to the average person, but the annotations help to rectify that.
