Journal Entry #3 How would your react if your mother married your uncle?Why is he so concered about his mothers remarriage?
I would be scared, unsure, and really freaked out. When I think about how I would feel, I can really see what Hamlet was going through. I would wonder if my mother ever really loved my father, if she remarried so early. Hamlet really loved his mother, and seeing her show love to a man so immeasurable to his father wrung his heart. It truly tortured him, day and night, to watch her affections toward his uncle. He thought he knew his mother, but her deceit shook his trust so he felt like he didn't know her, therefore he was cold towards her. I would be too!

It just goes to show that one decision can rock the boat forever, and also that the decisions of others can really affect the way we view life. We are always concerned for those we love and are close to. While we can't control the decisions that are made by others, I think it's important to find our own belief system and stick to it so that when those around us make choices that affect us in one way or another, we have something to fall back on--a stability when all else seems to shake. It's sad to think that people let each other down the way they do, and this may only be a play, but things like this happen in real life. It's important to realize that we need to keep moving forward in our own lives with our own goals in hand.
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! Maybe Hamlet was selfish and just didn't want his Mom to love or be involved with anyone else. He always wanted her to put him first, not herself and certainly not another man!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Hamlet was selfish. He loves his mother, and she loves him. I think it is actually the most strong love tie in the book. Hamlet is concerned for her, as I mentioned in my post.
ReplyDeleteThat was to pieratmom.
