books vs. modern play=)

For this last task i have decided not to speak about movie or any other type of modern interpretation of Hamlet, I have found that group of found actors in Ostravas theatre Arena have really special type of Hamlet, so i went there and i was absolutely amazed!!!! They took all the origins of the old play but putted into it actual problems and jokes=) there are problems like expensive eggs, politics etc etc... but it is not absolutely different play it really keeps all the origin ideas which are zoo good but they only little but tune it up=) I like the book and original play, but after visit in Arena i think that i have new favorite in Shakespeare plays=) I know that task is about comparing but i do not think that i can do it, because if I would do it you won't have opportunity to go there and see it on your own, and also you can donate a bit group of young but very, very good actors=)

Tramtadadaaaaaaa=)!!!

Reading of Hamlet was not bad or boring, because i like this play and I even saw it few times in theatre, but this was the first time when I read the origin one in english... i have picked up five quotes (i think that the most famous ones) so let me show them to you and explain what do they mean=)
1:  "The head is not more native to the heart..." Hamlet quote (Act II, Scene II)
this is one of the Hamlets quotes, or dialogues which he was telling after all the people around him thought that he get crazy, but he was only acting it and if you think about it quotes like this have much more deeper meaning that they look like
2:"Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't." Hamlet quote (Act II, Scene II)
This quote is one of his philological speak which he had to his mother, she does not know that he is acting his madness, and she is really sad because of it:-(...
3: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" Hamlet quote (Act II, Sc. II). 
Hamlet is polemizing about the murder of his father, he is showing that thinking about things you have done can make them good or bad... it is like in real life:-D
4:"I will speak daggers to her, but use none". - (Hamlet Quote Act III, Sc. II)
excelent quote which is showing his wants after revenge!!! he is telling to us that you can hurt someone even without weapon (psychically) 
5:"To be, or not to be: that is the question". Hamlet quote (Act III, Sc. I).
Yes my dear readers i did not forget about this maybe the most famous quote of William Shakespeare=) but even is is popular and famous i cannot really decided how do i have to understand it, maybe if you have some idea you can write it into comments=)

Was it really Shapespeare?

connecting to recent event with the new movie and this task i have decided to write about question which picked up one hollywood director few weeks ago. If you type into google something about Shakespeare every time you can find some documents or discussions about really weird questions like Shakespeare was woman, he did not exist or that all his work is written by philosopher Bacon and Shakespeare was only his pseudonym... It is really hard to find the truth, because I did some research and really we do not have all informations form his life clear... but lets get back to the topic about which i would like to speak. Shakespeare was many times criticizes that his plays rarebit out of border of polite, or that he is solving there problems which are type of things about which you do not have to speak etc... and also until today there is many, many people which still discussing if he really exist or it is pseudonym of someone else, or even of group of writers... What is your opinion?
here is very nice link about mysteries from Shakespeare life

Antagonist vs. protagonist

For the task like this is play Hamlet absolutely perfect, because whole play is about fighting between couples of characters. Main fight is between danish print Hamlet and his uncle which killed his father. These two people are absolutely different Hamlet in kind of normal guy which want only to find fathers assassin but on the other hand his uncle is terrible kind of person! they are like to magnetic poles one is + and second is -.

Other character do not have such a big fights between each other and there is only one character which fights only with himself and that is Othelia, she fights her own fight in her mind ( she is kind of crazy...=)

William Shakespeare

He was an british author and poem writer which lived in britain in 16-17 century. He was one of the main character of european writers which ever lived!!! Unfortunately we do not have all his plays, because they get lost during years. We have only 37 of them and 154 sonnets. All of his work was translated into many languages and his plays can be found in many cities all over the world. From my point of view he is one of the greatest author which ever lived. You can hardly find someone who never heard about him!!! When i read and heard about his life i have been quite surprised, because he was from rich family in small english city, but as every artist he had his own way in everything... During years he became very famous in whole england and he had opinion to meet british king. During our school trip into prague we have visited museum of alchemists and they told us that during his life he visited prague a few times=) Few weeks ago came out a new movie about his life which is quite interesting because movie says that he never wrote any play and some group of authors just used him to publish...

Characters=)

in this play we have many different characters so lets look at them=)...

Hamlet: One of the main character, he is Danish prince...His father was murdered, and after his dead father showed himself to Hamlet and tell him that they murdered him, hamlet "became" crazy (just pretending) and decide to find and kill assassin of his father.

Gertruda: Hamlets mother and new wife of Claudius... They get married quite fast after death of her old house band... 

Polonius: Good friend of Claudius, father of Othelie and Laerthesse. He is kings right hand (giving him advices etc...
