Hamlet

During the Chuseok vacation, I went to the Sookmyung Women's College to watch world musical, "Hamlet" with my cousins. Gunhyung Park, who is the famous actor in Korea, was the main acter on that day. It was so happy to be outside that day because usually on Chuseok or Lunar break, no body moves but stay inside the house and waste time. But this time was different. I think it was because of me and my sister, moving to New York. Anyway, when the stage's ligths were on, every one became quiet. And people came out on the stage, lined up and singing. And the story had begun.
The end of the musical, "Hamlet", it was so impressive to me and it became the motivation for choosing this book, "Hamlet"

When I picked the book up, I reallized that its cover page was the same as the "Romeo and Juliet" that I read last semester. Nothing to say but I wanted to read it in English. I came back to home that day after cross country, almost twenty pages were introduction and about Shakespear. So I looked for the begining of the story and I found it. Begins from the scene, Denmark palace's guards chatting about King's ghost that always appears every night.

Hamlet is an interesting story. I'll be interested to hear what you think about it once you get into it. Do you enjoy Shakespeare's style?
