1. The play hamlet have many twist and turns. Each of the character have an amazing personality. The story opens with a mystery, a ghost appeared which was shocking, I thought that in the oldern days there were no things like ghost playing a role in a story. It makes me wonder whether he ghost would tell hamlet to seek revenge or to give up the throne. It really was annoying when Claudius was the king, even though he killed hamlet's father and I felt that it was unacceptable that Gertrude marry Claudia after her husband had died shortly.

A. Sometimes something unacceptable happen to us. There was one time when someone did something wrong but there are still smiling as of there isn't anything wrong, even though I knew it, but there wasn't anything i could do, i felt terrible and mad

B. when hamlet loses his father he felt sad. I recall when I lost my important person. It was a painful experience. When we lose someone important to us, it's like you have lost a part of you.

C. The most similar scene that can be related to my life is when Polonius gave advice to Ophelia, in every era it is always the same. Parents will always give us advice for doing this and that and guide us in the right path.

3. Shakespeare writing styles usually use comparison. The way Shakespeare describe something, he will aways relate it to something else making the audience and the reader able to envision it easily. These phrase makes it easy for me to understand about the character's feeling even though it is in old English.

4. The only problem while reading hamlet is the language Shakespeare wrote. It is in old English, so it is very hard to understand. But there are also some questions I wanted to ask, I wonder, why would Hamlet father said to hamlet to seek revenge, even though it is dangerous and it is not right, why did he ask him to do that?
