I think that Hamlet was a good play in the fact that it was entertaining and had a good story-line. I think that the part I liked the most is when Ophelia goes mad and drowns in a puddle. That was sort of on the weird side, that is why I liked it. In the end I think that it was very unexpected when all of the main characters all die. That was a little on the odd side. If anyone agrees with me state it in a comment below. -.->
Connor you are majorly right about all the main characters dieing. It was very weird. Was Shakespeare emo or something? Emo does seem to work for 7th grade songs... Moving on to a more interesting topic, Ophelia didn't die in a 'puddle' as Connor put it. She drowned herself in a stream. There is a difference. Connor just so you know I am not picking on you. You just happened to be the only one to post. I liked Ophelia going mad though. It was funny!
Response to Hamlet I thought this was a really good play. It had a lot of poetic lines in it and moral. It had a bad ending because everyone died, and I don't like books or plays that the end turns out really rubish and not going how I expect it to. I didn't know it was a tragedy until after I read it in class. William Shakespeare had a really modern view of teenagers. It was an everlasting view. The problem was though that hamlet was 20 when your 20 you are supposed to be more mature..... Apparently the play was played by not only actors but actresses too. One famous Hamlet was Edwin Booth, he was related to John Wilkes Booth. I don't think I spelt that right. Hamlet had some serious come-back skills, he was just smashing down the Queen and Ophelia the whole play. I really like a painting of the play called The Grave Digger Scene by Eugene Delacroix . There are too similar plot lined stories, one is The Scandinavian Saga of Hrolf Kraki and The legend of Brutus. These are freaky similar. Hoping that we do this play for the end of the unit, because I think our class will enjoy fighting and getting to die.
