"Notes on Hamlet"

      My thinking on Hamlet has evolved from the moment we began reading it because of all the class discussions we've had. Before I could understand fragments of what I was reading but now I can full on translate sentence after sentence, word after word with almost no problems. I have evolved from being just any other student reading Shakespeare because it is assigned as homework to a person who reads because it is enjoyable and analyzing Shakespeare's works extend my thinking. I have actually not changed in thought about the plot but I have changed my opinion about characters. For example, Ophelia, she seemed to be a sweet girl who only wanted to be with Hamlet because she loved him but now I see her as a girl who plans on just spying on Hamlet  and playing with his emotions because she agreed with the King to get information. I predict that Hamlet is going to go through with his plan of revenge and kill Claudius. Claudius already is feeling under pressure, thanks to the play-within-a-play that Hamlet put on for him. I also believe that Hamlet will do something to feel like he also got some revenge on his mom because she has hurt him a lot.
