week 12

Ophelia is a young women, who had a mind of a teenager. Oh no my boyfriend has broking up with me!!:( I shall now go and drown myself.  Her world was pleasing hamlet in her life, but when the prince shows his true feelings, towards her she starts to loose it. I think if her brother was to be there, he could have kept her from going mad, especially when her dad died that was the last straw in her. From there and on she was lost like a sheep without its shepherd. She wanted her old life where nothing went bad, and everyone was happy.

week 11

`Hamlet was giving one small task and that was to kill his uncle but did he? NO! instead of doing that he went to his mothers chambers to stab his mothers heart not with knifes but cruel harsh words to open her mind of what she's done and doing. i think the reason why Hamlet's father appeared was for one reason and that reason was to remind Hamlet of what he had tolled him to do.

week 10

Branagh VS Gibson easy peasy I am with Branagh why? Because he was more true the book in my opinion he was more what Shakespeare would have liked to seen. Branagh had everything he fallowed the script line very well in his movie. Gibson however did not his lines were very short and to me if you want to get a really true feeling of Hamlet you shouldn't cut his lines away because that weakens his character.  Branagh's acting of Hamlet is more dramatic and accurate he shows more of madness and drama on Hamlet's side the speeches were said in a stronger way it made more existing. Now the Gibson version was not dramatic at all it only focuses on Hamlet talking to himself. There was hardly any action and very little drama.  This tolled me that the Gibson version was just plain boring.
