I'm probably killing myself just going into AP Literature this coming school year, but personally I think it is better than AP Rhet, so here I go. I should have started the summer work earlier, but it really doesn't matter. I was having a fun summer and I still am, but now I have to start cracking down and working. I'm starting with Hamlet.

I always find myself getting distracted when I read Shakespeare. I have my mom's Kindle Fire in front of me, with Act I, Scene II ready to read, yet instead I find myself blogging. Why? Like I mentioned, I get distracted. I remember how long it took me to read The Great Gatsby last summer. Although I fell in love with the book, it wasn't until I had faces to the names in the story that the wonderful book finally grabbed my attention. Anyone else excited for the movie coming out in December? Because I am. So this is my plan... put some faces to the various names of Hamlet. That and my photoshop has been open for awhile and feeling very neglected. I promise, once I finish this post, I will go back to reading. I promise.

My Ophelia would be played by Freya Mavor. She was the first girl to come to my mind and personally I think she would be a wonderful Ophelia. Then again, I haven't gotten to a scene with Ophelia yet, but Kate Winslet did play Ophelia in the 1996 film, and Kate and Freya do have a slight resemblance. Hm... now that I think about it, Emilia Clark would also be a wonderful Ophelia.


The leading man would be played with Joe Dempsie. Maybe because I'm having Gendry withdrawals (which reminds me, I still need to finish the second season of Game of Thrones). Nevertheless, I think that Joe fits the role of Hamlet well... I think. From what I've read, Joe seems to fit the character well.

Now that I think about it, I could just put GoT characters as Hamlet and it would work. Too bad my baby, Arya, would not fit in. Nor would Bran.


From Magneto to Mr. Rochester, I have a feeling that if there was to be another Hamlet movie, Michael Fassbender would make a wonderful King Claudius. He can easily pretend to show no remorse for being the one to have killed King Hamlet, yet act out the crazy king willing to do anything to keep his crown.


I'm a bit bias when I came to picking the late King Hamlet. I kind of just went for someone who looked like an older Joe... and that lead me to Viggo. Which reminds me... I really should start the LoTR trilogy. I want to see Martin Freeman in the Hobbit so badly.


The wonderful Joseph Morgan as Laertes seems fitting enough. Although Joseph doesn't really look like a complete follower, he has been shown well as Klaus in TVD to be a man of vengeance.

For now, that will be it. I know I still have a casting for Gertrude, Polonius, Horatio, and various more (damn 18 character play). I might get to it. I really need to get back to reading.

I guess it is time to actually update this. I really don't have much to update that isn't One Direction or summer... and I personally don't have much to comment on that other than posting pictures. I want to keep this relatively interesting.
