McEwan’s Nutshell is more than a retelling of Hamlet, it’s a 21st-century tragedy.
An unborn child narrates betrayal, fear, love, complicity, and unbearable awareness.
We admire him more than we pity him.
Perhaps empathy is reserved for those who remain silent.
This is Hamlet, reimagined, and the tragedy of being born into a broken world has never been told more brilliantly.
