11/6 blog post:

I am excited to see how the play is going to end, even though we have three acts to go.  I think that by playing "mad" to keep his cover, Hamlet is slowly starting to become a bit crazy himself.  How can Hamlet possibly expose his father's murderer?  As stated by Claudius' "yes men" Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the public would sigh a deep sigh if he were to somehow abandon his post.  Perhaps this is a foreshadow of the evil king's death in the end.  This would be the ideal ending, as the evil would be substituted for the good, the unintended heir ceding the throne to the correct heir to the throne.  Also, I am curious to see how Hamlet's relationship with Ophelia plays out, as Hamlet has to keep his cover, but yet not wanting to drive her too far away.
