Hamlet Blog #3

Dear Michiko Kakutani, 

I understand your point but I do not 100% agree with you. You have good ideas about different ways that Shakespeare is relavent to our lives nowadays but I think it is the other day around. I agree with the fact that there are multiple different shows and movies out recently that are based off of Shakspeare plays. They are able to relate to people now, especially younger people which is a smart way to get out a different era of writing. But I believe that Shakspeare isn't as relavent today as it used to be. People have to change it around and recreate it in different ways to make it relavent. The new shows based off of it are more relavent because they relate to this century where as literally Shakespeare isn't as much.

Even though this is true, I still believe that everyone should read Shakespeare at some point in life. It is a very different style of writing that is difficult to read. It involves very deep analysis and thinking to be able to interpret it so it is a good challenge that all people should experience.
