I did not get to work as much on my paper today as I was hoping. I am trying not to get stressed. I have thought a great deal about it, and I finish the story as well. With the end comes new ideas and thoughts. I have been writing them down, but still do not have an clear format. I think tomorrow I will reread the assignment and see if that helps. I am so thankful that I am at least getting ideas finally. I was really stuck earlier.
There has been one thing on my mind that has really bugged me ever since we started watching the film in class. I read the text, listen to it and watch different versions of the play performed. I will say that so far the version that Ms Frailly has shown in class has been very accurate, but there are some things in it that I do not agree with. Life for instance, the character of Polonius. According to the film, he is also a slimy person, and that is why he gets along so well with the king, but I do not know if I agree with this. In certain scenes you see how badly he treats his daughter, Ophelia, and you wonder if that was truly what the play was like. I do not think he was such an evil old man, but I am afraid that no one will see this and therefore not understand my paper. I need to study the text more to back up my argument.
I am tired.
