Hamlet Act 3 Journal

1. I agree to not overreacting in the play. The queen player is my favorite because she is honest.
2. Yea he is a little bit rude toward his mother and Ophelia. Hamlet can be rude and sometimes pretty dramatic so I don't care for him as a character. It makes him a good character for this story.
3. He feels guilty because he feels bad about it. I think that he could be redeemed.
4. In a lot of the movies there are characters that a self-fish and think to highly of themselves and something happens and they become more humble. I don't know if Hamlet will overcome his flaws or not.
5. I don't think it was in the room; Hamlet might have imagined it.

Hamlet Act 2 Journal

1. I think that Polonius likes to make plans and to secretive.
2. Hamlet thinks that the world is like a prison, and it's unfair. I am an optimist because I try to look for the good in the world.
3. Yes, because he thinks he can get more info about Hamlet.
4. I think that Hamlet is just pretending to be crazy because when he is by himself he is more calm and relaxed and not showing off.
5. I think he likes it because acting isn't reality. He uses it because it's not to risky. Yes, because he should have just listened to him.
6. No I don't think they are wrong for spying on him because they are trying to help and they were sent by the King and Queen. He problem feels bad that they had to send people to spy on him.

Hamlet Act 1 Journal

1. Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy, And will not let belief take hold of him Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us. Therefore I have entreated him along With us to watch the minutes of this night, That if again this apparition come He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
It's saying that Horatio doesn't believe in the ghost and that it is fake, but if they see it again then he might believe if it speaks.
2. I am a Horatio because I don't believe in ghosts.
3. Hamlet: What they say/think:Line 67 It shows that Hamlet doesn't like his step-dad.
What they do: Scene 4 line 9 It shows that Hamlet is going to talk to the ghost.
How they are described: Scene 5 line 139 It shows that he is caring about other peoples opinions.
How others view them: line 149 It shows respect towards them.
He is a good character.
4.I would be shocked and curious. I would need more evidence. I wouldn't tell the secret.
