My Reaction to the First Scenes

The first scenes of Hamlet were enthralling ones that captured your attention. Seeing the ghost made we wonder what message he was trying to convey. The madness that goes around Hamlet must be pure torture for him, seeing his innocent mother marry someone who he can sense is only it it for the money and power. Hamlet's first soliloquy was a hard one to understand, but it was telling of the turmoil and distress he is going through. You could see the anger he portrayed so clearly. He had a right to be angry too. The ghost character enthralls me, and I was excited to see in future scenes what would happen about it (what it might tell Hamlet) and whether or not the new king will actually rule like a proper king.
