CAUTION: If you read this blog there may be spoilers of some Shakespearean plays!
In class we have started to read a play by Shakespeare, Hamlet, do not get me wrong it is going great and I am finally understanding it. I just don not get into it as much as I got into Shakespeare's other plays. Romeo and Juliet was awesome, and I recited Mercutio's Queen Mab speech. Then I read Julius Cesar which while was not my favorite, it gave me multiple quotes that were good to use. Then I read Macbeth which was my favorite Shakespearean piece thus far. I just liked the idea of a crazy psycho murderer, and his creepy wife seeing ghosts and then dying. I don't know it was just really phenomenal, but with Hamlet, I just have not gotten into it. I believe that as the story progress' I will enjoy it more, but as of today it is still not my favorite. Right now I am reading the part about how Horatio is taking Hamlet to see the ghost of his father. Then as they are searching they find him, and the ghost wants Hamlet to follow him. Horatio tries to tell Hamlet that he does not know if he should follow him. Hamlet follows the ghost of his father anyways he then reveals that he was murdered. At this point I am trying to start to like it. It gives a tragic happening that will probably end with death(which is what happens in all of Shakespeare's plays). As I continue reading this play I will try to keep you guys updated on my opinion of the play and its scenes.
