The die is cast and I have chosen Hamlet because I like plays that have violence, mystery and adventure.
I choose to watch Hamlet. I had several reasons for choosing Hamlet. I feel a little awkward when I watch people kissing. I like the idea of a little bit of mystery, betrayal, and violence. Though I picked Hamlet for this assignment, I am planning to watch Romeo and Juliet also.
I found Hamlet to be very interesting. Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, is angry and sad because his father had died. It seemed the death of the King of Denmark had been an accident, but his ghost appeared and told Hamlet he was killed by his brother. Claudius, the king’s brother, forced Hamlet’s mother to marry him and told Hamlet to stop weeping about his father’s death. Hamlet is disgusted by the marriage of his uncle and mother. Hamlet has actors perform a play that shows how his father was killed. Claudius walked out of the room, which seemed suspicious to Hamlet. In the end, Claudius poisons a drink and someone else poisons a sword. Hamlet is stabbed with the sword and he stabs his uncle and forces him to drink the poisoned drink. His mother also drinks the poison. In the end the entire royal family dies.
Romeo and Juliet also another famous Shakespeare play, is one of my favorites. Romeo and Juliet are from different families that hate each other. Near the beginning of the play, Romeo and Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, get in a fight. In the end the prince comes and says they will be put to death if it happens again. Later that day Juliet’s father announces that she is to marry Paris. Juliet agrees to meet him so they hold a feast. Romeo snuck in to the party and met Juliet and they fell deeply in love. Juliet’s parents are going to force her to marry Paris the next day. She agrees, but gets a poison that will make it seem like she is dead. Romeo hears that she is dead and goes to the family tomb. Romeo kills Paris and then goes into the tomb, drinks poison, and kills himself. Juliet wakes to find Romeo dead and stabs herself with his dagger. Reunited in death.
