Hamlet 1.5

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!
