Currently in Ms. Hegeman’s class our focus is Shakespeare. She wants us to be able to face the challenges of not being able to understand something difficult so we use different techniques and ways to manipulate the words until we have a better understanding of it. She wants us to be able to ask questions and get help from other sources and each other to get a better understanding. At first we went to go watch a play called “Much Ado about nothing". That play was really good and I understood it more because I keep asking questions about things I didn't understand and the actions and expressions of the actors/actresses gave me a better understanding of what's going on. We are also currently reading Hamlet. Hamlet is about a Prince's father dying. Hamlet is the name of prince and His late father’s name was Hamlet also. After the father’s death the mother and the Uncle gets married and that causes a weird relationship between him, his uncle/step father and his mother. One day the ghost of his father appears to the guards but it doesn't say much, than eventually the ghost appears to Hamlet himself and the ghost is the ghost of hamlets late father. The ghost tells hamlet that he was killed by King Claudius and wants his son Hamlet to avenge his death since he's already going to hell for what he has done during his prime. Hamlet doesn't know if he's bugging or not so he decided to perform a play based on what the ghost said to see the reaction of King Claudius the reaction that the king gives off is what's going to prove the ghost right or wrong. In the mist of this entire catastrophe Hamlet is in love with Pinonilous a commoner’s daughter Ophelia. Ophelia and Hamlet love each other very much but her father and brother are both against it because they believe that Hamlet would never love her he would only seduce her well basically sleep with her and leave her due to the fact that she is not of royal blood. So she decides to leave Hamlet alone so he starts going crazy and I guess the term is “Crazy in love" and we had a discussion in class of what we think being crazy in love meant. My response of what being crazy in love means is being obsessed with someone and loving them more than you love yourself.
