Hamlet Character Choice
I have chosen to follow Horatio for the duration of our reading of Hamlet. In a play where most of the characters seem to still be figuring life out, in between the death, incest and insanity, Horatio is the one character who remains sensible and grounded in his ways. He also has, out of all the characters, the greatest insight into Hamlet's thoughts. Because Horatio knows Hamlet better than anyone, he would see the events of the play differently than anyone else. Attempting to summarize the play from his point of view would force me to look into the deeper meanings behind Hamlet's actions and would give me a chance to make some sense out of a plot involving several mentally unstable main characters. Seeing Hamlet from Horatio's eyes will help me to focus on the true meaning behind the play so that I can fully understand Shakespeare's intent for his audiences.
