Dating Hamlet is a novel written by Lisa Fiedler, first published in 2002.

Plot

The plot of the story is relatively the same as Shakespeare's Hamlet however with a few twists in the tale. The story centres on Ophelia and her views on the activities taking place in Denmark and how they affect Hamlet. The Author turns the story on its head by making Ophelia the hero of the story, she is the one who comes up with the plans to save Hamlet. She is the one who proves to be brave while Hamlet appears weak and is left to follow

The novel is a retelling of Hamlet from Ophelia's point of view.
