As time went on I was beginning to understand what's going on and I'm starting to enjoy Hamlet. I never thought that i would get sucked into a play so old, especially in the way it's written. I found out that i absorb the text more when I find key quotes to understand the plot, and the rest is poetry to depict their feelings. It is still sometimes difficult to understand what is going on so I've learned to read more carefully then I typically would. I'm not saying that once class is over that I'm going to read Shakespeare all the time but I've come to respect his work. So far it's had drama, suspense, romance and tragedy. I can understand why around 450 years ago people were just awestruck and amazed at these plays.

Careful, Taylor--this is how he sucks people in. Soon you'll be stealing time from other classes to read his plays. Next you'll be considering a double major: psych/literature. Then you'll drop out and move to London to become a Shakespearean actor. And it'll all be my fault for giving you your first hit of this dangerous drug. I'm sorry!
Shakespeare is one of the most famous playwrights in history. I want to be a filmmaker, so Shakespeare is a way most playwrights would look at and understand how he creates an story that draws people in. From Comedy, to Tradegy, to historical plays, he teaches us politics, revenge, love, and etc. Its also great for psychology in some ways. Many of the characters are diverse. You see different personality. you can speak an monolouge in different ways to understand the meaning behind it. Yeah i agree with the professor or doctor if he prefers. :D lol.
