Moist Star

I find Shakespeare to be very fascinating. Even though it can be extremely frustrating when I don't understand the text, I know that there is a message there, and I'm not trying hard enough to unveil it. 

This is my first time reading Hamlet, and I am already captivated by the writing. I feel that there is going to be a huge twist, that the deceased King of Denmark was killed by his brother or that the uncle did something to reach to the great heights of his brother. I am also a bit confused why the ghost of Hamlet's father has showed up. It could be because there is a message to give, either if it's something personal about the family, or it could be a warning visit.

Hamlet is a touching character. He is deeply hurt by his father's death and has yet ceased to mourn his death. His uncle tells him to stop mourning because a father is meant to die eventually, and it's natures doing for the life to end and a new one to begin. I love all the emotions being portrayed in Hamlet. It is relatable to how someone would feel if there father died. Hamlet definitely luminates this story and makes it interesting.
