Favorite Quote!

My favorite Hamlet quote is "Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel" when Polonius was given advice to his son. In simple terms, "keep your trusted friends close." I feel I can relate to this quote to my life since I meet so many different people especially in high school. The hard part is finding out who is real or fake because at first when you meet someone every one seems friendly. It is hard to find real and genuine people nowadays, but I am glad I know who my true friends are. I realized those friends care about me the most and we stick by side even after high school.

My favorite film was the Franco Zeffirelli version. I like how the beginning was different from the play. The Franco Zeffirelli started off with the funeral of Hamlet Sr. It focused more on his death and how painful it was. I also liked how it showed Hamlet's facial expression throughout the film. Hamlet's reaction was depressed and mysterious.

I also like how dramatic they portrayed Gertrude at the funeral. She seemed devastated, you could feel her pain. I thought it was interesting when she stared up and looked at Claudius. They way she looked at Claudius, you could predict that something was going to happen between the both of them. Not only did I liked the acting, but I also liked the music and their wardrobe. The music went perfectly with the mood of the scenes. Their costumes also showed they way people dressed in the Shakespearean time and was really detailed.
