Hello, Hamlet
I am happy to see you after it feels like such a long time apart, however my friend something really seems off with you. I know your father’s death must be devastating and I wish I could of been with you more during this hard time and not here for your mother’s wedding, which I known we both think that is pretty weird. However, your father would not want you to mourn his death, but maybe he does with this aspiration or evil spirit, really I am worried about you and I want the one person I trust the most in this world to stay sane. That's why tonight when we try to communicate with this spirit I want to make sure that you can handle seeing your father in this state and hopefully not an evil spirit that is trying to trick you and …show more content…

This is not just a worry of me, but also for Marcellus that is coming with us as we care for you not as a prince, but a great friend. I did not believe the Marcellus and Bernardo that this spirit that looks like your father existed as a schlored person this seemed irrational and just a figment of Marcellus and Bernardo’s imagination. Then I saw this spirit and all of rational thoughts went straight out of my head as this aspiration came out of nowhere and went straight and honestly did scare me pretty well. I tried communicating with this spirit and no response and the paleness was like the white of our eyes. I knew at that moment that I needed to tell you that this is happened and no one else. I write this letter as a caution to you as the moment you see this aspiration your thoughts will change as the aspects we learned as scholar men is changed as this spirit good or evil will shock you. Especially if this spirit turns out to make you insane that would really make everyone who cares for you very upset. So, as we go and communicate to this spirit make sure you know this is your father and as a group to stay together during this insane

Reading scene three of Act I, I begin to understand how the other characters feel about Hamlet. Through Ophelia’s and her father Polonius’s conversation I learn that not everyone thinks Hamlet is as wholesome as others do. Polonius insists that “Tend’ring it thus you’ll tender me a fool (Line 109 Page 23).” I wasn't entirely sure why Polonius disliked Hamlet until he went on to say, “Do not believe his vows for they are brokers, not of that dye, which their investments show, but mere implorators of unholy suits, breathing like sanctified of pious bonds (Lines 127-130 Page 23).” I then began to question what Hamlet did for the councillor of the king to say such harsh things about him.

The actor Kenneth Branagh portrayed Hamlet as a depressed and gothic individual. At the beginning of the scene, Branagh begins his speech while he is walking towards a mirror staring at his reflection. As he closes in on the mirror he not only has the same expression on his face, but also uses the same monotone voice. By doing so, the audience can see the disgust on his face, showing that this is a serious matter. The use of the monotone speech illustrates the idea that Hamlet sees no value or significance in his life, but rather that his life is meaningless.

In Hamlet's soliloquy in act 1 scene 2 of Hamlet by Shakespeare, the central idea is that life is not fair. This is first shown as the central idea when Hamlet says that he wants to commit suicide, but it is against his religion (lines 129-132). To him, life seems unfair because when he wants to do something, he is not allowed to. The central idea is further shown when Hamlet says that his father loved his mother so much "that he might not [allow] the winds of heaven [to] / visit her face too roughly" (lines 141-142), and his mother "would hand on him as if [an] increase of appetite had grown / by what it fed on" (lines 143-145), and his father dies (lines 148). Soon after, she remarries.
