Quiz The last question
I would ask Romeo and Juliet perform on the stage at same time. Romeo is in front of the Juliet, which is just like the balcony scene. Audiences are able to see both characters' emotion clearly. Also, audience can easily figure out what difference between Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo: I was so happy today, no I mean I was so excited today. I saw Juliet, we talked and we will marry soon. I don't know how to express my emotion now because I am really excited. It seemed unreal to me when I said goodbye to her. I can say the most pleasurable experience of the evening was our wonderful conversation. At first I was afraid she would not accept me. If so, I would be upset. However, as I expected, my bright angel made the right decision. She believed in me, so I have to treat her as well as I can. I've decided that our wedding is going to hold in few days. Be honest, I can't wait anymore. I don't want her wait so long, we are mean to be together. It's our fate. Well, after wedding, I will travel with her or do something else. I just want to stay with her. Today is like a dream and I hope it will never ends.
Juliet: Bright and lovely day, Romeo appeared under my balcony. How does he knew I wanted to see him so much? My Romeo, he is just too amazing. He promised we are going to have wedding in few days, and I believed him. The only worry is not about him, it is about me. Should I tell all of these to my nurse mommy? Maybe I have to tell her,because she is the only one I can tell all the secrets and worries. She can give me advice to my future and it can also helps my love Romeo.

Four different types of the scene
Four different types of the scene
Ｉwatched four different types of the balcony scene which include cartoon,staging,film and old version film. They all expressed a feeling that Romeo was afraid to tell Juliet his love but also he wanted her know because he could not wait, and in fact Juliet crushed on him as well. Thus, characters have to show pure,innocent and excited.
For that cartoon, I laughed because characters were so cute, and pictures were beautiful that all lights turing on. However, it does not like a romentic play that is more like a funny play. It lost what Shakespeare want to express. Children may love this cartoon because it is easy to understand.
In my opinion, old version film is the worst. First, the actor of Romeo did not like a son from a rich famaily. He hided in the bush, it seemed to be a theif who is ready to enter from the balcony. Except this, there is another reason that cause I dislike this version. Romeo,a romantic man had no face expression when he saw Juliet. This is not acceptable.
The new version of the film is just normal, there is nothing special and nothing silly. My favorite one is that staging, when I first watch that, I noticed this is the longest one. I wonder maybe longer time means telling story more detailed. And later I found I was right. Both actors(Romeo and Juliet) expreesed their moon perfectly. They tried to show their love is difficult but they have firm confidence to countinue. In addition, there was no much stage property. Hence, audience can pay whole attention to these actors. I was no longer distracted by whether bush or lights. Admittedly, staging version has disadvantage which is actors are steep, they kind of exaggerated the play. Furthermore, Juliet’s actress is just too old to be Juliet.

motivation
In a film or a book, there are some plots that can attract audience or reader. And we call that conflict which means the interaction between people. In a good work, author has to design what makes this character decide to do someting. In another word, behind every charcter there must be a purpose. And this is really important because it will make more sense for audiences.
Laertes in the famous novel Hamlet is a example. He was a knight who is good at sword fighting. And his sister Ophelia fell in love with Hamlet,but his father Polonius who was an old fogey tried to stop their dating. Polonius thought Hamlet was crazy,so he usually spied Hamlet. His motivation is simple, that he did not want his daughter marry with a crazy guy. However, he dead sooner when he hided behind the curtain and overheaded the conversation between Hamlet and the queen. Hamlet predicted the king was hided so he thorned. This was actually a wrong action because Ophelia was very sorrowful and dead by mistakely falling in the river. Two famaily dead made Laeter just want to revenge. Hence, he challenged Hamlet in public. They decided to have a sword fight. Before the duel, Laetes put posion on his sword. This indicates he wanted to kill Hamlet so hard. Moreover, he was an prudential person because sword was enough to damage Hamlet, but he used posion for sure that Hamlet would not alive. During the duel, Laertes was suppressed by Hamlet until Hamlet was distracted because his mom drink the posion by mistake. At the end, Laeters did thorned in Hamlet’s body. His goal was achieved, he revenged for his father and his sister successfully. As the result, he was dead too. He was killed by Hamlet. When Hamlet got thorned, he used all his power to kill Laertes and he was successed. Anyway after this fight, lots of things changed.
These two people had fight because they both wanted to revenge for their famaily. They had confidence to win,but the result was bad. In fact Laeters’s challenge accelerated the Hamlet’s revenge plan. From my standpoint, I do not think Laertes fought with Hamlet for keeping new king safe. Laertes was just eager to renge for his father and sister. His motivation in the whole book is the simplest. He was a strong knight but kind of lack wise because he was so impetuous when he knew his father and sister dead.

"To be or not to be" which is a super famous saying in Hamlet because people are able to get the theme through this sentence. And my understanding for this is Hamlet was actually an person who was brave to promote justice. And his process of revenge gave him too much pressure. This soliloquy gives reader a chance to know Hamlet's characteristic. However, if it were a conversation, it would not clear what Hamlet really thought. Therefore, I agree with Benedict Cumberbatch that soliloquy allows audience to empathize Hamlet better.
Conversation needs at least two people, which sometimes obscure one's opinion. However soliloquy only has one person talking so every single words he speaks is his major purpose. And it is just soliloquy's function which is emphasizing. Moreover it indicates Hamlet has consciousness that step by step revenge for his father.
It is an important speech because this part determines Hamlet is struggling in whether kill his uncle or not. At first,Hamlet thought everyone is good guy. However his father got murdered, he realized this world is not not that simple and pure. People can do many crazy things in order to get what they want. As he was considering to be or not to be, he was becoming a real adult who knows darkness is in the world.
This soliloquy is kind of theme of Hamlet, which tells advantage and disadvantage of revenge. In my opinion, Hamlet never surely decide to revenge, although he kept doing things for revenge. Anyway his revenge process is challenging.

Hamlet scene analyse
From my stand point, the scene Hamlet and his dad met is the most interesting part. When I read this part, I didn't think this fits in this book's style because I don't believe there is a ghost in the world. Thus it seems fake. However this is a easy way to tell Hamlet how his father dead. What is memorable to me is the importance of this plot. This is a beginning that Hamlet start to revenge. The author describes Hamlet was so angry about it, that he put his hands on his head. This action means Hamlet realized this world is not full of love or warm. Horrible and terrible things can occur.
