More Shakespeare.

It is beginning to become apparent, that Hamlet is mad. Not mad as in crazy, however - though, he must be a little crazy, everyone is crazy. His anger and wit are being shown to the audience. Such a man seeking revenge, and still mourning for his father, should go back to the way he had been, preceding the meeting with his ghostly father. But who am I to say he should continue to mourn and hide his feelings and work on his ideas for revenge. What shall he do for revenge? This is a question that must be answered, and will be answered.

There is not much recap or analysis to be done. Most of it has been completed in class whilst we act out the play, and discuss the play with each other. There is not much I can say that one does not already know, because of that discussion and exposure to the play. Additionally, we are each assigned to do specific assignments to summarize each scene, and then an analysis for each act. My home work does my blog work for me. So, from now on, I just might point out key events instead. Unless, of course, I am attempting to use as many words as possible. Even then, the key events to each scene (that my summary will pertain to) will be here. For no one but I - As no one will care what I think the main or key events are.

- Polonius is a man that likes to hear himself speak, thus he enjoys repetition. He sends another (Voltimand) off to keep tabs on his son Laertes, in addition him keeping tabs on Hamlet.

- Hamlet, as I have said before, is beginning to show his wit and anger. The appearance of his father’s ghost does not seem to have been the best thing for an attitude adjustment.

- The King receives word from Fortinbras that they would like to peacefully cross his lands to reach the Polacks. He agrees quickly, without taking any consideration that Fortinbras would want his land back, and attempt to kill the king.

- Players that take roles in nontraditional plays are introduced. Hamlet messes with one of them, just to test out how incorrectly the playmakers have been teaching them to act, in addition to how incorrect the plays are. He is going to use such inexperience to his advantage, and test his uncles conscience.
