Shakespeare is an amazing writer. I have been able to understand a couple of his poems and play's; like a Romeo and Juliet, my mistress eyes, Shall I compare thee to a summers day and a few more, but this week in my class I have been charged with reading the first three scenes in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Wow am I confused just a little about what he is trying to get across.
In the first scene it's pretty self explanatory and not that hard to follow where Shakespeare is going, but when the you read the first couple of lines about of scene two my mind has one big question mark. Like the line that says " therefore our sonetime sister, now our queen,...". What does that mean. I don't know how the rest of the play will be, but if it's like that I think I will have a hard time reading and understanding Hamlet.
Even though I may not know what is going on in Hamlet I have found that it is interesting so far and may prove to bra great story that I will reread in years to come. Anytime Shakespeare has a ghost in one of his plays things are always better and more fun to read about. I wonder how the rest of the play will be and how it will end. Shakespeare always makes things end very differently then how they will appear they will. This play makes for an interesting and enjoyable read.
