Trying to read Hamlet right now, and god drat Sir William is owning me. I consider myself a relatively avid reader, but I'm finishing whole pages without a clue as to what's going on. I liked Macbeth in high school but I guess the class helped me decipher a lot.

Things started going south in scene [II.i] wherein Polonius and Reynaldo are going back and forth about....something.

I'm reading a Norton critical edition, but the footnotes aren't doing me much good. Any good noob resources? I've read summaries to help me grasp the plot, but I feel like a lot of the nuances of the language are lost on me.
