Hamlet By William Shakespeare

In my English class, we started reading Hamlet and after each act, we would also watch the reenactment of that act.

Hamlet is a story about the revenge of A late king son on his uncle- the present king- due to the fact that he thinks the Uncle killed his dad. Hamlet started out with Hamlet best friend Haratio seeing the ghost of the late king-Hamlet's dad- and announcing to Hamlet who in return wanted to see for himself. The ghost announced to Hamlet that  in fact he is his father and that he cannot move on due to the fact that the one responsible for his death is sitting in his chair at the throne and is married to his wife, Hamlet's mother who quickly after the death of the king married the uncle. At that the story unfolds.

In my opinion I would say that Hamlet is not likable because of the language that it was written in and Old English is very difficult to understand, but after getting past the first act, I find myself wandering what is going to happen. I think Hamlet is mentally challenge, that opinion is also based on what I saw in the movie, I also thought that Hamlet would be younger and more handsome in the movie. I also am eager to see how  the relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet is going to be revealed.
