Just marathoned this play... Hardly understood a thing.

What can read to improve my understand of Shakespeare? I started reading Bloom's "Shakespeare: Invention of the Human" and it seems a little too lofty for my liking, and for someone who reads a lot his writing style is poorly read (glad I bought it used).

Faggot.

Read "Hamlet: Poem Unlimited" by Bloom. It's shorter and easier than "Shakespeare: Invention of the Human", and its more directly applicable to Hamlet.

Honestly, you should watch Hamlet first. There's no adaption that does it 100% justice, but if you're a recovering pleb its better to watch it the first time. I suggest Kenneth Branagh's version.

Then, the first time you read Hamlet, don't be afraid to check sparknotes if part of it is to confusing.

But for now I would just take a break. You'll get burnt out reading Hamlet two times in a row too close together.

Wait a few months or maybe a year, watch an adaptation, read "Hamlet: Poem Unlimited", and then reread it.

Watch an adaption then read the spark notes.

Then read the play carefully. Read the passages out loud and try and puzzle out what the characters are saying.

It takes time to read Shakespeare. Focus and give it time.
