            This play was made over 500 years ago, and there are a lot of different versions and views on this one play. The plot of the play is very complicated and dramatic. Majority people of today have very difficult dramatic problems in their lives. No Matter Where, When, America, Or Africa all kinds of people across the world can relate to the dilemmas in this play.This is the reason why I believe our generation can relate to this play and plot. I do not struggle to connect with it. My interpretation of the play will definitely lend to the legacy of Hamlet.

                I will have to say that I agree with Hamlet Hesitation to kill his uncle . If Hamlet is going to kill his uncle for what he did he deserve to go to hell not heaven. So with that said he should kill him after he just performed a sin. It is all a religous act. whether or not if he kills him or not. One thing the audence will be sure of is that he is a religous man. I think he is a wise man for thinking it out before he acts upon a devilish move. If Hamlet Kills a innocient man it will be hard for his mother to deal with and he would really be considered a madman.

            The " To Be Or Not Speech " is very known. It is basically a soliloquy by new Hamlet. It is a thought that was supposed to be in his head but is spoken aloud. He is debating rather or not life is worth its wild, as everyone say it is. He is questioning the value of life. Would it be better to deal with the cons and dilemmas of life or will it be wiser to just throw the towel in. I strongly believe he made some good points, but he also said that no one know for sure how is the after life like, or if there is even really one.
             Hamlet is going through a lot in his life right now. From his father being murdered, to his own mother becoming his aunt in law, and the fact his uncle is his evil step dad that he is forced to live with. His best friends are betraying his and lying to him, and the fact that he is forced to break up a relationship with a close person. I think he felt like he hit rock bottom. That the only solution was that somebody has to die. If its him or his uncle doesn't matter. The pain, stress and suffering is causing him to think so drastically and dramatically of taking his own life or another.

              In the first version ( Franco ) the theme is more medieval times, with swords and a darker setting. I did not really like that but I can say it was very different from the others. The Actors did not portray my assumption of the original characters in the book. Their were a lot of important details that were missing in my opinion. In the second version ( Kenneth ) there is a very different style of mood it is unique. Even Though Most People Recommend the modern version i like the first version the best
  In the third version  ( Micheal ) Old Hamlet seems angry and seem like he is there to gain revenge on someone. Young Hamlet seem afraid as if his father is going to harm him. He is jumpy and acting as if his father was upset with him. The music is dramatic and overwhelming in certain cases. The blood pouring out his ears and the erupting ground is very overdone.
