Kyra Ny, I'll copy these lines into my own "collection" of sayings, if you allow me to do so. These lines sound ... hilarious ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Speaking of Hamlet, we acually saw most of a verision from 1996 today. It's four hours long so we didn't have time to finnish it today so we will tomorrow (finnish it, that is). If the language wasn't so hard I might have been able to focus on what they meant and not what they said <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />.

And it's always a pleasure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

actually, the play Hamlet is at least loosely based on / inspired by an old danish "saga" or folk tale about a prince called "Amled", who kills his uncle for killing his father, or something like that (the action is similar though not identical to that of Hamlet). So that sort of explains Hamlet. As for Horatio.. well I have no idea about that one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Since my teacher thin ks hamlet is the best thing that has happened to mankind I know that. But thatnks for sharing anywhay. We finnished it today btw. We missed 15 of the last 60 minutes due to lack of time (think it was even more before that) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />. I will probably whach it some other time, for the whole thing.

Probably taken from the even older Greek saga => Daddy came home after war. Mommy has a lover - lover kills Daddy. Sonny takes revenge. Daughter tries to bury brother's corpse. And Cassandra knew everything.

Actors:
Agamemnon - Klytämnestra - Orest - K(something) - gee, how was the daughter's name? P(something)?

Iphigenie ?

Nope, she was sacrificed, so the Greek would win the Trojan War- Daddy did it => Agamemnon. BTW, this guy killed the 1st husband of Klytämnestra - married her and then was killed himself by Aigistos - Sonny Orest them killed A. and Mommy. And daughter/sister was Elektra. She wanted her brother to do this revenge.

Yeah, same as in Hamlet => counting the dead takes longer than counting the survivors at the end.

The Trojan war seems to me rather weird in some aspects. OK, we're here to win honor. Let's do it by cutting down helpless mercants in order to get into the city <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" />! Now THAT'S honorable.
