Thoughts on Hamlet (in progress).

This piece of literature has been a emotional roller coaster for both the characters and the audience. The audience is a direct witness to characters losing their minds from revenge, grief, and guilt. Each event that has happened during the acts have elicited pathos and caused the audience to create their own bias. Some are on Hamlet's side and relate to his plan for revenge in order to honor his father while others believe that Hamlet is completely insane due to the fact that he has conversations with ghosts and kills Polonius without a single blink of the eye. Shakespeare is able to create different sides to one story, which is remarkable. Now, after reading Act III, I believe that the play is going down a slippery slope. Things are going to get worse and worse without warning. In addition, I also believe that this story is going to end suddenly, which will leave the audience with thousands of questions and not a single answer.
