Hamlet, prince of drama

Ok so, today, Steven helped me with my draft. I did not know that we were supposed to have a revision for today. Last week, Ms. Frailly had said to just keep working on this paper. I don't understand. But whatever. I'm not happy about that. But, I can take some of those ideas we wrote down today and use them for my paper. Like how we wrote all those things about what Hamlet was about? Like how we said it was about love and hate and choices and lies and relationships and all that good stuff? I can use those for my paper. Yay.  But yeah. I'm writing my paper on why "Hamlet" should be considered literature.  Literature is something that has emotional affect.  Well that's part of the reason from the Oxford English Dictionary.  So, I think Hamlet obviously has emotional affect.  I mean, hello.  The poor guy comes home to find his father dead and his mom getting hitched to his uncle.  I mean seriously. And then all the junk with Ophelia. But yeah. He really should learn how to forgive and forget. I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't be mad at my uncle if he did something like that. But really, his vow for revenge was his downfall. Maybe, even, had Hamlet forgiven his uncle, over time, Claudius would have come to Hamlet begging for forgiveness.  Just maybe. But even if he didn't. Poor Hamlet would have been better off letting it go. But no. He gotta get revenge and accidentally kill Polonius and make Ophelia go loony and make Laertes kill HIM.  Dummy.  But whatever.  Ok, well, my laptop is soon to run out of battery, so I shall go and plug it up shortly.  See you guys in class tomorrow. No. I mean Wednesday.
