Flowers could represent love and happiness, but it could also represent death. <BR/>The characters i've choosen to focus on is Hamlet and Claudius.<BR/>I picked Hamlet because he's the protagonist, so I figured I would have more to write about.

Being in the dark, is not knowning whats going on in your surroundings. Hamlet stuggles with confusion throughout the play. Hamlet needs to grow teh courage to say and do whats on his mind. The strand darkness can mean different things being in a dark place, hiding from your problems, in a confused or difficult situtation or even trapped with no way out. The dark is full of surprises you never know the outcome until you do something.<BR/>The two characters i chose was Lord Hamlet and Ophelia because they are two people with a special bond, they are attracted to each other. It's a relationship thats hard to be with because of all the differnet situtations happening in their lives. Love is very mysterious and intersting. Also love can make people act or think different. Lord Hamlet and Ophelia are two young people that have a strong connection between trhemselves. Also thes characters are two very important people in the play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-13416724862536679702008-03-06T11:14:00.000-05:002008-03-06T11:14:00.000-05:00The strand that I picked was prison; I wanted to s...The strand that I picked was prison; I wanted to see how a prison would make someone act. Does being in a prison bring out the truth in someone? Since the name of the play is Tragedy of Hamlet I thought predicted that someone in the play would go to jail. May even yet be in prison from there own mind set. Within the characters they feel like they are in a prison of life. Denmark is a jail for them. The two characters I picked were Hamlet and Horatio. They best buds and wanted to see the relationship between them. If there is true friendship among them. Will one another stab each of them in the back.ilensj7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06548937986801123962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-7340608331335896062008-02-27T16:04:00.000-05:002008-02-27T16:04:00.000-05:00The strand I choose to write about is flora.

I chose this strand because I've never heard of flowers being mentioned in the summary of Hamlet so I'm curious to see how they fit into the plot of the story. The two characters I picked to write about are Ophelia and Gertrude. I wanted to do Ophelia because this is Hamlets lover. I want to know all about her. What she did exactly to make Hamlet fall so madly in love with her and how she feels about Hamlets transformation. I choose Gertrude because of the summary that i got from her description. She seems like an interesting woman. I also want to know why she married her dead husbands brother and how she feels about Hamlet not agreeing with that decision.aliciar2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02147564212798236420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-47762845330509652722008-02-15T14:17:00.000-05:002008-02-15T14:17:00.000-05:00The stand that I choose was "Strumptness" because ...The stand that I choose was "Strumptness" because i feel that it is an intersting topic and there would be some juicy sections in the play about people being in many different relations ships with two or more people.The characters that I choose were Ophelia and King Claudius.The reason why I choose Ophelia is becasue she is on of the characters who have a relationship with one on the main characters in the story,Hamlet. King Claudius characher have some evil behind him that would also keep my attention because i would want to see what he would do or say next.kiara j7https://www.blogger.com/profile/05192720696702282138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-24475758086351536422008-02-14T22:07:00.000-05:002008-02-14T22:07:00.000-05:00i have chosen Hamlet and King Hamlets ghost as my ...i have chosen Hamlet and King Hamlets ghost as my two strand i will be focusing on. Because these two characters connecti in many ways. Theres no closer bond then father and son. Hamlet feels very concomfortable witt the way things ended up after the death of his father.

Ophelia has to deal with a conflict of love and/or family, never an easy choice I want to know which she chooses and why. Gertrude had to deal with the loss of her husband, though instantly going to his brother doesn’t make sense to me it does make me want to learn more about it. The strain I chose is light it seems like such a “dark” story, I’d like to see how light will be used.rachael_n7https://www.blogger.com/profile/03143998075793490954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-70900029522792130742008-02-12T11:35:00.000-05:002008-02-12T11:35:00.000-05:00The characters I chose are Ophelia and Gertrude.

I could connect to them because am a woman just like them. Gertrude is an interesting character because she married her late husband brother.

Usually a major character needs two men in the play book, a zealous supporter and opponent. Claudius marries his brother's wife, which is an incestuous act makes him as an opponent. Horatio plays his friend, who helping with Hamlet’s revenge.yan w p7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17835855426114672962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-23063992369568666922008-02-11T23:21:00.000-05:002008-02-11T23:21:00.000-05:00Light is a theme that has shown up in the past rea...Light is a theme that has shown up in the past reading, Icarus and Daedalus, Camus, and Cat's Cradle. Now it is also the theme for Hamlet. The first character is Ophelia, women, the cause of men's downfall.

And through the expression of the eyes can see one’s mood and personality. Some people can understand what other people are thinking through the eyes. All the images that human see can affect their thought. “Eye” and “I” are pronounced very similar and very people have their own eyes, and they both are representing personal and individual. So I think “eye/I” has greatly concern in Hamlet. <BR/>And I focus on Polonius and Gertrude those two characters. Polonius is the principal secretary of state and father of Ophelia, the reason I chose him because he’s the one that try the separate his daughter and Hamlet to be together. And Gertrude has many roles in Hamlet. She’s the Queen of Denmark, the wife of Kind Hamlet and Claudius, and the mother of Hamlet. All the roles she acted are representing a woman, so I am interesting on how she affect the Denmark.Yan X.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08087491943969607136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-63605032154350096672008-02-11T14:29:00.000-05:002008-02-11T14:29:00.000-05:00I am going to choose Light.

I’m interested in the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia and I want to see how important Ophelia is throughout the play, since she’s considered to be a major character. I’ve also chosen Claudius because I want to see what happens between him and Hamlet since he is Hamlet’s uncle and father. Something has to happen between them if this is true. The strand I’ve chosen is dreams. I think that dreams always mean something and I want to see how they play a part in the play Hamlet.Like the Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357760179091961037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-835357326075113862008-02-11T13:27:00.000-05:002008-02-11T13:27:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Like the Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357760179091961037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-28981901711712534522008-02-10T22:37:00.000-05:002008-02-10T22:37:00.000-05:00I have chosen Ophelia and Laertez because since th...I have chosen Ophelia and Laertez because since they are related then it would be easy for me to write alot about their conversations that they have together and the strand that I chose is Flora because up till were we are the flora image has shown up at least twice now and there should be more to come.Conor R1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06340198832961163025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-15868222894466149492008-02-10T16:02:00.000-05:002008-02-10T16:02:00.000-05:00i have chosen Lartes and Gertrude. i chose lartes ...i have chosen Lartes and Gertrude. i chose lartes because i caught my attention i want to know how he is goin to affect his sister and father as he leaves and i want to know how he is goin to come back in the story.

It's always interesting to see how Shakespeare connects dreams with real life. The characters I have chosen is Laertes and Ophelia. Laertes name caught my eye because I'm a big fan of mythology. I chose Ophelia because she's Laertes sister and there's no stronger connection than a brother that cares for his sister.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481444964443328190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-52695558911682189722008-02-08T19:40:00.000-05:002008-02-08T19:40:00.000-05:00I have chosen Fortune and Fate as my first topic s...I have chosen Fortune and Fate as my first topic since Sheakspeare likes to use this in his tragedies.

I chose these characters because I believe each one represents a very important message in "Hamlet". I think that the way Gertrude is acting concerning her marriage with her brother and law is going to effect how Hamlet will look at women. Maybe in the story he is going to loose all respect for women and then when he does he will treat Ophelia with no respect and because of how he looks at his mom. How it will connect with h20, I can't say that I know but I am waiting for it to connect.</B>RhondaJ7https://www.blogger.com/profile/00082308565378245869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-43813611098986355892008-02-06T22:01:00.000-05:002008-02-06T22:01:00.000-05:00My choice of a strain is "flora", because im inter...My choice of a strain is "flora", because im interested in seeing what is being compared &/or contrasted in Hamlet with nature.
