what would you do if you were hamlet?

[sojounggg]

hamlet is same age as us.

he is going thorugh so many things that we don't really go through.

he is struggling to stand what is happening to him.

if you see ghost and that is your father and telling you to kill uncle, what would you do?

imagine that you found out that your uncle killed your dad and you want to find a way out of this maddness. hou would you tell other people about his truth?

I would pray and just forget about the ghost. I would I listen or even care about a ghost. If i were hamlet then I would have some conversation with him and maybe try to convince him to forgive my uncle. revenge should not happen. I would not tell people what happened to King Hamlet since it would bring more chaos and conflict to the country.

[stormy44]

I wouldn't believe the ghost was my real father in the first place if he was telling me to kill someone. Hamlet always described his father to be just and powerful, but the ghost seems to be on the dark side-totally opposite of King Hamlet. I think I would ignore the ghost like Kevin, and try to be friends with my uncle. Even if I figure that Claudius really did kill my dad, I think I would never think of murder as an option.

[sujeonggg]

I also wouldn't believe the ghost. But once I heard from the ghost that my father could've been murdered, I might go find someone trustworthy to talk to and share all my burdens. As you said, Hamlet is just as the same age as us. So I might go find someone to help me out instead of struggling all by myself.

I would listen to the ghost and probably take revenge on my uncle. Since I am listening to a ghost and doing his orders, people may think that I am insane, but why should I care if my dad was murdered by my uncle? I should be the one to take revenge on my uncle if my father was not in the position to do so.

[juliekim]

I don't think I would think the ghost is real. Even if it were telling the truth, I wouldn't have the guts to just go and kill someone. I would hate him for what he did, but I don't think it would make me start plotting revenge or something.

[ginayang]

First of all, I don't believe in ghosts. But even if I did believe in ghosts, I would not take revenge and kill another human being. Murder should not be repayed with murder. Murder should be repayed with justice. I would just try to prove my uncle's guilt in front of a big audience, not kill him myself.

[joannekim]

I would not believe the ghost because I am sure that my parents would not want me to kill someone. I would believe that the ghost is just some evil spirit. Meanwhile I would be curious and try to find out if my uncle really killed my father. If I found out that what the ghost said was true, I would make my uncle leave the throne and my mom to leave him since he does not deserve it. I would also tell people around me to get some advice. However, I would not try to kill him.

[cathysjun]

I think instead of killing my uncle I would try another legal way to punish him. Even though it is my father's will I don't think I would want to risk losing everything I have for seeking revenge. I would try to get my uncle executed by gathering evidence and suing him for killing my dad.

[seongrae]

I would not just start to agree and believe with ghost. I will first keep the information that the ghost told me and try to find is the information is true or false. If it is true, then I might try to tell people about this and do something for my uncle. For example, taking the king’s position back from uncle because I might not just stay watching my uncle doing what my father should be doing.

[rebeccahan0613]

I don't think I would be able to believe the ghost's words even though it looks like my dad. And even if I my uncle killed my dad, my dad would definitely not tell me to kill my uncle. I would never be dumb enough to kill someone from information I got from a ghost. I would first make sure to check if my uncle killed my dad or not and try to come up with a plan to get my uncle punished under the law. I wouldn't just kill my uncle like that.

[edward08]

to chose between the uncle and the dad, i would ofcourse chose the dad, and if osmeone killled my father i would try to revenge it in many ways. someone killing my parents is a very big tragedy for me. and there should be great consequences faced

[yerin0727]

I personally never had the idea that ghosts actually exist. Therefore, I wouldnt believe in the ghost at first. Even if I was tobelieve in it, it wouldnt be a good idea to just spread the ghosts words to other people. I would therefore pretend as if I didnt see the ghost at all.

[jessicashim2013]

If I saw my father's ghost, I would start to question about my father's death but not believe everything the ghost told me. If I find some evidence, then I will believe the ghost. But I don't think I would be able to kill my uncle even though he killed my father.

[minjaeyang]

If I experienced what Hamlet is experiencing right now, I would not pretend to be crazy like Hamlet did. Instead, I would rationally tell people what really happened and avoid looking for revenge. Revenge is doing the same thing that the uncle did, so I would definitely not revenge.
