Today during class we finished Act 2.
What i got from it: Hamlet is a professional at being multiple people in one. With Rosencratz and Guildenstern he (Hamlet) is having a conversation about prison and other things; casual friend conversations. When Polonious enters he starts acting crazy, and madly in love with Ophelia. It is quite entertaining to see. Then by himself he is a mess. His last soliloquy in this act was about himself of course. He spoke about how much emotion and passion was given to Hecuba's character and how if he were to tell someone his story and what he was going through people would cry and have so much emotion. He is angry and confused at the fact that Hecuba; a character could be treated with such drama and emotion. He is also talking about murdering his uncle and so on and so forth.
