Hamlet Post #1

Hamlet starts out to be an interesting play. The setting of the play sets us up for what is soon to come between the neighboring countries. The sub complication, the appearance of King Hamlet's ghost, adds to the complications of a young Hamlet. Hamlet is deeply troubled by the fact that his father had so recenlty died and his mother quickly moved on to mary his uncle Claudius. This angered Hamlet because it seemed as if his mother nevers topped to mourn his father, The King's death before moving on. It is easy to see why Hamlet is so disturbed at the beginning of the book. The King and Queen see that it seems to be something bothering Hamlet so they send two of his friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to try and find the root of his problems. They bribe his friends to find the answers instead of them talking to Hamlet like a reak friend. This shows me that Hamlet's parents do not really care for his well being. This sets up Hamlet as a character who is going to have to make it on his own. I am waitng to see if Hamlet gives into whatever his parents have in store for him.
