Hamlet Act II Scene I

1. A man has been hired (Reynaldo) to tell tales of what Hamlet is doing. Ophelia has revealed what when Hamlet has crazily barged into her room.
2. "Oh no not if you say it right. I don't want you to say that he's a sex fiend that's what I mean. Just mention his faults rightly, so make him seem like he's a free spirit who has gone a little too far." It would make Polonius like less of a bad guy and this act would seem much less malicious.
3.  Why has Reynaldo been hired to spy on Hamlet and what could they possibly gain from spying on him?

Delmaine Sub Work

Tuesday
I was not really fond of any of the sonnets today. They were confusing because I was trying to look through everything and trying to find a deeper meaning to a topic I was not interested in.

Wednesday
The difference between the two is that a Petcharchan has an octet and a setset that changes the mood of the sonnet, but an english sonnet has 4 parts to a sonnet. Neither has more intensity it's really dependent on the subject of the sonnet.

Thursday
I think Shakespearean sonnets are stupid because I am not a fan of sonnets. They aren't hard to understand, but yes they still pertain to today's times because love is a timeless message.

Friday
Shakespearean sonnets should be studied by people who are interested in the culture of middle English time. Otherwise what point does it serve to a person who is not going to major in a related field?

P.S. I though posted this the other day apparently this was still in draft mode.
