Hamlet and Me

Most heroes are over dramatized and unrealistic, like a perfect form of what everyone in society wants to be. Most times it is hard to relate to characters because of this and I have never felt like a character was being described to mirror me in every way. The closest was in Catcher in the Rye because the protagonist was really reflective of most adolescent thinking for the time period it was written which was not to long ago. however Hamlet and I seem to be the same person, as I read his thoughts and actions I feel like i know exactly what he is going to do next because we are so similar. Now the hamlet I relate to is very different from the Hamlet I have seem dramatized. I haven't seen a Hamlet yet that reflects my thoughts on his character.

Unphotographical Moment

Rainy day and tired from practice. Not depressed but not really looking forward to the rest of my day. Just kind of wanted  to crawl in bed and sleep. I turn around to inspiration.
