HAMLET REVIEW

The book I decided to read this term was Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Like most of his plays it's a tragedy.

I couldn't finish the book yet because it is quite difficult to understand it without reading a lot of times every word but I wanna write about what I read until this moment.

It's about the court on Denmark. Some soldiers see a ghost walking down the streets every night at midnight. This ghost is looking like a king and in fact, the king of Denmark died one month ago under mysterious circumstances. Hamlet, the son of the dead king, is really sad because his mother has already married his oncle. He thinks that someone murdered his father. When he decides to speak to the ghost, it tells him that it's the dead king and that Hamlet has to revenge his death because his own brother (the actual king of Denmark) murdered him to become the king. Hamlet decides to ensure this charge making a plan. Some actors are performing a play which is about a similar story the next evening, and he decides to change a little bit the script. While the actors perform the play, there is a scene which shows the brother of a king murdering a king. At this moment the king of Denmark jumps up and gets really angry, so everybody knows that what the play showed was true. Now Hamlet has got the affirmation he was looking for to revenge his father's death but he is also in really big problems because they want to kill him.

 

THE EFFIGY OF POETRY

William Shakespeare was the most famous british writer who ever existed. He was a dramatist, poet and actor. Nobody really knows when he was born but he was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon at 26th of April 1564. He died in 1616, but we don't know the cause neither. His dramas and comedies are the most important plays which have been played and filmed of world literature. 

He wrote  38 dramas and 154 sonnets.

We don't really know much about his life but everybody who has read one of his plays knows that he was a genius. Not only because he had the talent to find beautiful words for bad things: he had the gift to play with words and give every single one of them a special meaning. 

Some people think that some of his plays were not written by himself because of the fact that they are too brillant to be written by one single person. In fact, he was able to use the poorest languaje from the alleys and the highest one from the court at the same time. His vocabulary embraces over 17.750 different words. 

His most famous play is Romeo and Juliet which is the most popular drama in history. But he wrote a lot more. Some people say that Hamlet was his masterpiece, but this is something which I am going to write about in the next post.

THE ART ON YOUR SKIN

To tattoo someone means to change the pigments of the skin by inserting ink into a wound (nowadays made by a tatoo-machine).

The first tattoo's were made by the first humans in the neolithic time. Since then all different types of humans did it but specally in the last century the tattoo's had a lot of success. Nowadays nearly everyone does have a tattoo because it's modern. 

In my opinion people often get a tattoo without really thinking about it before. I think that making tattoo's is a kind of art and not only something related to fashion. This summer I will get some tattoo's but I've been thinking lots of years about it so I'm really sure that I won't regret. 

Those people who just tattoo something on their skin ignoring the fact that it hurts and that it will be there forever look a little stupid to me. I think a tattoo can be something really beautiful but it's like everything else: an excess of it can have objectionable consequences.
