You didn't learn very well. Hamlet is not a book; Hamlet is a play. To answer the op's question, it is taught as a method to improve thinking ability. However, it is not taught properly in most school and understandably so. You can't "teach" it the average class bc students won't behave well enough. You can properly teach it in AP classes, though.
