1. This scene where the action in the play really starts to take off. We have seen the ghost before but now it is actually talking and giving instructions! Hamlet's father explains that Hamlet's Uncle killed him in order to become king. He then seduced Hamlet's mother into marrying him. He explains that he is stuck in purgatory due to the fact that he died with all of his life sins with him. Hamlet's father wants him to redeem his death my murdering his killer. One very important point that Hamlet's father brings up is that he does not want his old wife harmed in any way at all. He believes that she will have her final judgment once she dies.
5. I thought that overall this scene was extremely cool. I mean this is turning into be such an awesome play. I am glad that Horatio is going to support Hamlet through all that is in front of him. BTW I thought the video added a lot to this scene. It is much better then the MacBeth video that we had to watch.
7. Holy Crap, I can't believe that my Uncle killed my father. Seriously what is wrong with him. I do admit that I did have suspicion that something was up when he married my mother so quick to become queen. This is just ridiculous. I should act crazy so my uncle will never see his death coming!

Hamlet 1.3
1. In this scene opens with Ophelia, Hamlet's love, being warned by her brother Laertes about her relationship with Hamlet. He claims that eventually he will have to marry someone of higher social status and that she might as well move on. They go into their father Polinious' home where she is only told exactly the same thing by her father. At the end of the scene he condemns her from having anything else to do with Hamlet.
3. I really don't understand why it was such a big deal that Hamlet and Ophelia were together. Hamlet had just lost his father and you would think that Polonious would be more sensitive towards what exactly he was going through. My other question is what kind of role will Ophelia and her family play in the story?
7. I really do hate my father right now. I mean Hamlet just lost his father and now I have to tell him that he can't see me anymore. He is just so unhappy that his mother is already marrying his Uncle. I mean in my opinion that is just kind of creepy. I guess I understand what my brother was saying about Hamlet having to marry someone of higher status but I thought possibly things could be different between us.

Hamlet Act uno scene uno
3. A few question that I have is:
Where does Hamlet tie into this scene?
When will we first see Hamlet?
Why exactly is there a ghost?
Is this scene necessary?
1. Pretty much this scene opens with a few manly gentlemen keeping watch over something. They are just kind of minding their own business keeping watch until a ghost appears that resembles the dead King Hamlet. Now this isn't the first time that they have seen the ghost before. They encourage their main man Horatio to speak to it. Eventually the rooster crows and *poof* he is gone.
5. My first reaction of Horatio is that he was some what important. It was just his presence. Once the subject of the ghost is brought up, he is the only rational person at the scene. When the ghost actually appears he is the first person to be brave enough to talk directly to it. According to Mr. Hill and my own intuition, Horatio will be a major character in this play.
