I am feeling fantastic when it comes to Hamlet! I feel like I understand it when I really pay attention to the words. While there is always a few sentences or paragraphs that make no sense, being able to do class discussions really helps me comprehend Shakespeare's writing. When I just look at the words they end up getting all jumbled up in my mind and turn into useless mush. As long as my mind is present when I read Hamlet, I should have no problem following everything that happens.
Now the part I am enjoying most is memorizing one of Hamlet's famous speeches, mine happens to be "Oh what a rogue and peasant slave am I...". I already have all of fifty-seven lines memorized, that's right, fifty-seven lines. I can thank my wonderful job for that, standing around all alone for hours gives me plenty of free time to memorize my lines. Though I have been caught talking to myself a few times by my customers and fellow co workers. I feel as if all I ever do at work is read over my lines.
I am definitely going to rock this assignment (knocks on wood). All I can hope is that my mind does not decide to go blank when I stand in front of the class whenever we present, or that I can at least recall twenty of the lines. Hopefully all those hours of practice will not end up being a waste of my time.
