Hamlet What is the author's tone in Hamlet by William Shakespeare? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 8/20/2012 2:25 AM Last updated by holliefraser 8 years ago 6/22/2017 5:52 AM
Shakespeare is pretty melancholy and angst ridden with his tone throughout the play. Hamlet has a couple of displays of rage but he always returns to his existential melancholy.
