Response Journal

Response Journal for Act 1, scene 1 to Act 2, scene 2.

1. I feel like this story will become a tragic one and I also think that there's no good characters in this story.

2.  a. I really feel like Hamlet is the character from the anime that I watch name Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization of Blaster) in which his name is Fuwa Mahiro. In my opinion, I think this two characters are very similar because they seek the revenge over their deceased beloved person. For Hamlet is his father but for Mahiro is his sister which he believed she was killed by someone and trying to find that murder. Both of them abandoned their reasoning and morals just for the sake of revenge.

     b.  The other anime I feel similar to Hamlet is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (The Moment the Cicadas Cry). This anime is also as tragic as Hamlet. I feel the similar to both story because this anime also include the ghost and cursing that make people frustrated and trying to kill each other.

     c. This one I feel like many of you know because it is also done by Shakespeare and was adopted to be an anime, it is Romeo and Juliet. I believe many of you know this story already because it is also a tragic love story in which I feel like it is no second to Hamlet.

3. "The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!"

    I feel like this quote really make me want to read more. In the way I interpret, it seems like Hamlet is telling that he was born to set this corrupted nation right. I also think that this quote is trying to tell that Hamlet will be the one who at last makes things alright again by anyway possible but I feels like it won't be the happy ending one for him.

4. I feel like I still don't really understand why Laetres and Polonius try to pursue Ophelia to stay far away and not to be near Hamlet.
