Hamlet

                FIND HAMLET IN YOURSELF

                                                         By Jelena  

The school started. So I've decided to write about a book which we were talking about on a class.

          The title of the book is HAMLET. The book was written by William Shakespeare. It's about a Danish prince, Hamlet, whose father was murdered by his brother. Hamlet didn't know about that until his father's ghost appeared and told him about it.

           The whole play takes place in Denmark, and just at some moments it moves to France and England. From the relationships on the court, we can find out a lot about Hamlet and the king Claudio, as well as about all of the servants. We can see that the only friend of Hamlet's was Horatio.

           Hamlet and Horatio were similar in many things. They saw this world as a big jail, because everything around them was rotten

           The most important about this drama is that it has a universal meaning. Some scenes can happen even today, for example: hypocrisy, arguing, fighting about wealth, love scenes, fratricide.

           I think that everyone has Hamlet in himself, because we can't be sure about everything. We will always have a dilemma about something.

           What I also should mention is that, in Hamlet, we can read a lot of philosophical thoughts. One example for that is: "TO BE OR NOT TO BE".

          A piece of advice for readers:

          Try to enjoy reading "Hamlet". I'm sure you will find yourself in this book!
