Blog activity on Hamlet.

Here is answers of my task

*Introduction
A Tragedy is normally about the person who has lot of good qualities but also a one poor quality called tragic flaw and that causes trouble for him and family.The same thing happened in Denmark and Shakespeare wrote The Tragedy of Hamlet 'Prince of Denmark' and made it universally appealing.As we all can say that history is flat, literature have climax and that one can see in Shakespeare's work. He change the flat history  into his imaginative words. Hamlet has a remained Shakespeare's best known and most analyzed play.


(1)How faithful is the movie to the Original play?
A complete version of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, it is over 4hours long and Shakespeare's world of Hamlet is fully presented with the each dialogue as it is in original text.
But... I think movie is not 100% faithful to the Original play because Branagh use Victorian style costume, rich ceremonies and bright colors at the court of Elsinore which is presented as particularly opulent rather than traditionally Medieval and by doing this Branagh Little went away from the original play
(2)After watching the movie have your perception about play, character or situations changed?
Yes,  after watching the movie my perception about play, character and situations changed because while watching movie I can't go beyond the Director's imagination and I start believing that whatever  I'm watching is quiet near to the original play thus, after watching movie I build the pictures about play through the eyes of Director.
(3)Do you feel 'aesthetic delight' while watching the movie?
In Hamlet in the Play within the play I felt aesthetic delight because Hamlet planed and the play The Mousetrap is well played by actors and that time King Claudias face with the trying hard not to show by his face what he is feeling innerly.http://www.bachelorandmaster.com/globaldrama/significance-of-the-play-within-play.html#.WawJFr3hXqA
(4)Do you feel catharsis while or after watching movie?
Critic Northrup Frye has evaluated Hamlet as a play without Catharsis but... I feel catharsis while watching movie in Act-4 Scene-4 when Hamlet firmly decided to take revenge. In his soliloquie...here in above video. 
(5)Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?
Of course screening of movie help me in better understanding of the play because I honestly says that still I didn't read original text and that's the way through the screening of movie I can see the each and every action of the play.
(6)Life time cherish scene in the movie is In the Act 5 Scene 2...dialogue between Hamlet and Horatio. When Horatio tries to explain Hamlet that if your mind dislike anything, obey it but... Hamlet replies in very meaningful words that : Not a Whit, we defy augury if it be not to come it will be now... If it be not now, yet it will come.  The Readiness is all.
Here,  in this scene we can see the deepest understanding of Hamlet and we'll bond friendships with Horatio.
(7)what changes would I like to make in movie is... I deal with Ophelia's character through my view..
In the play I can see that Shakespeare did not give much importance to feminist ideology. If I'm Director  I would not show the Ophelia mad and unjustified death... But I draw the Ophelia much faithful towards her love with Hamlet.
one more thing about Hamlet and Ophelia's  love relation in original that....they loving each other in their sleep...
and waking up alone but in my diraction there would no tregedy in their love.
(8) In the beginning of the movie camera rolls over the Statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the Statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust ... I think it shows the dishonesty of King Hamlet because only he was who motive Hamlet to take revenge and because of the strong determination of revenge there were so blood ,death and tragedy happened. If king Hamlet really want to take revenge against the Claudias than why he himself not took any act and kill Claudias... Ghost have also a power. Thus, the fall of Statue shows the fall of Denmark.http://www.gradesaver.com/hamlet/essays/the-dishonest-ghost-in-hamlet
(9)while studying the play through the movie I found historical and biographical approach is more applicable. In the movie we can see victorian era's England and in the play there is Renaissance's Denmark and one more thing is in Denmark's prince Hamlet is that...he was really mad and that's the way he killed the all family member but shakespeare made Hamlet's character as thinking man.

(10) In previewing task i found Moral Philosophical approach more than the other approaches ...Critics believe that larger purpose of literature is to teach morality and to probe philosophical approach. It help us in resove a,question problem or difficulty in the reading ...the same way in the all soliloquies of Hamlet i found this approach more applicable.

Book Review of Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini is an Afghan born American novelist and physician and he is famous for his three novels - Thousands Splendid Suns - And the Moutains Elchoed - The Kite Runner Recently I completed the Kite Runner, before the reading of Kite Runner, I don't know the defination or meaning of pain.. Pain of redemption... Pain of love in friendship... Pain for survival and better life... Is wonderfully captured by Khaled Hosseini. Begining is quite different than end, and in other words colors of fertility dried up in end. Author narrates about his own country Afghanistan , the land of Pashtuns . Pashtuns are the group of people they knows themselves as 'Pure & True Afghans'. They believe that flat nose people means other group of people which is known as Hazara are pollutes Afghans. Though in heart of Afghanistan Hope, Struggle, Chaos and Pride for what they have. In the books there is many lines through that we can understand or see boundries of orthodoxy...
