As a class, when we first began reading Hamlet many things have changed in my mind about both the plot and the characters since the king’s ghost showed up at midnight. To start with the star of the play, I learned that Hamlet was not a knight in shining armor like I had always imagined, but he was a distraught son who knew about a great injustice that had struck his family; This being, the murder of his father by his uncle, as well as his adulterous mother. I realized that he spends his time trying to set things right threw revenge. Hamlet is not a mad man like they think in the beginning, but he is simply misunderstood. He is in the place of the stereotypical teenager, who is the only sane person in a world of insanity. At the end of Act 3, Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, and I predict that the King will try and put Hamlet in jail forever as a result, considering that he does not want Hamlet to tell everyone that the king murdered Hamlet’s father.
