Read and Response 11/6/11




Act. 5 Scene 1
When Hamlet finds out about Ophelia's death he  lashes out after seeing Laerte's jump into the grave saying he wanted to be buried with her which he felt was ovr doing it. He feels he is competing with Laerte's about the love he has for his own sister.
Act. 5 Scene 2
Claudius deserved to die because first off he'd already killed too many people out of jealousy. In the end everyone who died, diedbecause of what he did earlier. If anyone was going to die, it should have been him, Even his wife died because of the plan he made to kill her son. The most innocent death I think was Gertrude in my opinion. She died trying to make sure Hamlet was ok, and she just happened to pick up the cup that poisoned Hamlet

Final Project
William Shakespeare wrote 3 different types of play writes. He wrote history themed, tragedy themed, and comedy themed plays. Hamlet, I think should be in the comedy themed. I feel it could sometimes pass as a comedy I mean in the ending everyone died how ironic.
