Hamlet

When I was told we were going to have to read half of Hamlet by Tuesday, I thought that it was going to be a lot of work. And then I started reading Hamlet and realized that not only had I already read it twice in high school, but I had also seen the movie version with Mel Gibson in it. I was happy about this because reading Shakespeare to me sometime is like solving a math equation. You have to go over it several times and sometimes decode the old English words to figure out what he is trying to say or what he really means. So this time reading it through was more of like a refresher instead of the agony of having to do like 50 pages of math homework. I hate math. Math is my worst subject and specifically chose a major in college where I would be doing as little math as possible, Thank God. I have always liked the story of Hamlet though, except for the end. I wish that everyone would not die and just Hamlet’s uncle, and well maybe his mom too because she should not have married his uncle. I mean, how could she not see that they guy was so evil and that he murdered his own brother, Hamlet’s daddy, just to be with this women, oh and to also become king. What a tool. And then you have the love of Hamlet’s life in Ophelia and her father thinks that Hamlet is that bad one. It is just amazing the naiviness, if that’s even a word, of all the people who think Hamlet is awful. And then when Ophelia dies you just know that Hamlet is going to take down his uncle for all the atrocities he has committed. All in all I think it is a good story/play.
