Of course, you don't have to read the whole thing, the actual text of Hamlet itself is only a small portion of this book. The rest is materials you can use to enhance your understanding. I read Dante's Inferno and Purgatory, but without footnotes explaining I was reading, I wouldn't have been able to read them. I want to read his Paradise, but although I could read it for free, I'll wait until I get a version that has explanatory footnotes. These kind of extras are one way to add value to a public domain work, making it worthwhile for people to pay for.
