Hamlet - Post #2

After reading Act II of Hamlet, I was able to take a lot in from it. One of the main things were the pattern that he uses throughout his play that I noticed. In Act one he focuses on Vision, Perception, and Belief. In Act two he focuses on Tragedy, Love, and Greed. This helps me to read the text and take in what is needed in order to understand what is occurring during the scene. For me, these three main focuses keep me interested because as the reader I depict which scene or action matches up with the main focus he has given us. It is interesting to me that the simplest concepts can be broken down into such detailed sections. The way they all tie into eachother is also interesting to me as the reader. Having read many of Shakespeare's plays before, I have noticed his pattern in doing this in most of his plays. I think that is a wonderful way to keep the reader tied in with the play, because by using these everyday issues, people relate to them. His way of portraying these concepts keeps me as the reader interested, and it was what stuck out to me the most.

As I mentioned in my first Hamlet post, I sometimes have trouble staying on topic. Keeping your eyes open for any point you notice me going off into another topic or just not sticking to the topic would be what I ask everyone to look for. Also, in both posts I sometimes have trouble with grammar. Not as much as switching topics, but you could also look out for that.
