Description
This picture was taken for my third marking period benchmark. We had to include two images that spoke to how we touched upon a theme from "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare in two different soliloquies we had to write. Once the assignment is over, I will upload both soliloquies. We were to use twenty lines of modified iambic pentameter with a heroic couplet to finish. The first soliloquy had to be in the voice of one of the characters from Hamlet, and the other had to be in our own voice conerning our own issues. This picture applies to the lines below that speak to the theme of madness in Hamlet. The soliloquy for the "then" poem I chose to be for either Rosencrantz or Guildenstern; each is a friend of Hamlet who decides to side with King Claudius because each is a sycophant.
Perhaps a knife in the back will stop me,
But what friend condemns the other’s wrongs when
His friend is his vindicator? That one
Is a madman.The image was captured on May 29, 2014. A Droid Bionic was used, and the settings were on Macro, Black and White, and entirely zoomed out. Not very sophisticated, but who am I to deprecate my own work? My fabulous actors were my grandmother (who holds the cane sword) and my grandfather (wearing my mother's black coat). The cane sword is mine, given to me by my great, great uncle.
Feel free to let me know if I've placed the photo in the wrong category.
