In class we are starting to read Hamlet now and so far it is an okay book. At first read I was a little confused with the boom but I think that was just the language that it was written in the threw me a little. Once I went over the text I stayed to understand the book a whole lot better. It was also helpful for my class to go over it as well act it out.
Now that I understand the book better I can grasp what is happening in it a lot better. For instance in the play were Hamlet is completely calling his mother common, I never knew that Hamlet was calling her basically a whore. This play is really good at giving more than one meaning for a word. Because with more than one meaning it creates a different way to get the writers point across. I am now really starting to get into this play because it has become more interesting and really caught my attention. Because of this I am staying to now understand what the characters are saying a but more easily.
Some thing in the play are just weird when I think about them. An example would be that Hamlet's uncle marrying his mother. That just seems wrong on so many levels that makes Hamlet their son and nephew. Which makes our awkward because his mom is now also his aunt. For me that is just crazy to think that my mom could be my aunt as well. It just seems wrong to have a family that is all mixed up like that.
