Hamlet

The play Shakespeare wrote called Hamlet, was simply strange. It began with an unusual situation in a family of royalty. The play then became a plot of revenge, and dramatic scenes. There were acts of betrayal and trite. It finished with a sad ending, revealing the families true flaws. In the play there were weak characters. They were Claudius, Polonius, and Ophelia. Claudius had a weakness for dealing with problems in his kingdom he took. Polonius was an arrogant, stupid man who had no background with authority. He was very fearful of many people. Ophelia as well was very weak since she was subdued to authority very easily. The strong characters were Hamlet and Horatio. They both were witty throughout the play, as they battled against the odds. Peronsally, I would not like to know Hamlet being that he is very manipulative and witty. I would not it if I was trying to be played. He is also very emotional and sensitive, with many dramatic occurences. This would drive me crazy being that I dislike dealing with these situations. I like friends to leave this part of their life out of our relationship. Hamlet and Ophelia would not make a good partner. They both have issues involving insanity. They are two very different people, but they both are a little bit insane. Hamlet and Ophelia would not have made a good people. They are very different from eachother, even though they were in love. They were not a good couple because of their marrital situation, and their personalities. Hamlet is just not compatiable with many people. I found Horatio to be a fairly interesting character. He remained at distant from the dramatic fights within the Hamlet family. He still remained friends with Hamlet, and secretly helped him through his hard times. He is a character of honesty and loyalty, which is not consistent in the play. This is why I would want to talk to him, and find out his feelings on the ending. He is the last person left, and has knowledge of everything that happened. He has record of why it happened, which makes him the reason the play is told. This gives him a greater understanding, which is why I would want his take on the situation that occurred.
