"To be or not to be"

 My favorite quote from the novel Hamlet is "To be or not to be". This quote is spoken by Hamlet in his last soliloquy as he decides wether it is worth it or not to live or to die. We all go through things in our lives through which were faced with many hard decisions wether big or small. We are faced with decisions from choosing what to wear , to what carreer we pursue. The choices we make impact our lives even in the smallest manner. With every choice made there are consequences wether good or bad ; these consequences often shape the rest of our lives. Hamlet spoke these words in trying to decide wether or not to commit suicide or stay in this pittiful world full of corruption. Hamlet decided to stay alive and avenge his father's death. In my opinion Hamlet made the right decision. Commiting suicide in  this situation would have been very cowardly of Hamlet and deceitful to his father and his honor.

Hamlet; Favorite film version

 My favorite version of Hamlet is the 19th century version directed by Ken Branagh. The actors play a big role on why this version is my favorite . Claudius was nothing like I expected . I pictured him to be older , and overweight which is completely not the case in the film. Gertrude on the hand was exactly like how I pictured. Ken Branagh did a great job in the type of music selection at the beginning of the film. The music created suspense and a kind of mysterious entrance.The camera angles were also kind of interesting. Cameras were fixated on the actors to capture emotions but also allowed you to catch a glimpse of the background. This film was similar to the book and allowed me to better understand exactly what was going on within the book.
