Hamlet's Dilemma

                   Hamlet did indeed have a dilemma. He wanted to kill Claudius but couldn't act right away. I think his hesitation was necessary because he wasn't yet positive about the death of his father. Just to be sure he set up "The mouse trap". This was a clever idea, and it worked. Confirming that Claudius was the murderer of his own father, Hamlet still hesitates on murdering him.
                  The reason is because Claudius prays and begs Hamlet for forgiveness. That is just not a good time to kill him because Claudius is not doing anything wrong at that point. Hamlet wants to make sure that Claudius goes to hell and i think his hesitation on  killing Claudius had good reasoning behind it.

To Be Or Not To Be

              The "To Be or Not To Be" scene is probably the most recognizable speech in literature. The goal of these directors was to portray it the best they can. Obviously throughout the versions, they vary and have some pros and cons to each. I'll start off talking about the version that is least appealing to me. That one is theAlmereyda version where Hamlet is walking into blockbuster. I feel the setting is off, and the audience is not able to see the appropriate emotion that Hamlet is feeling.
            The one i did enjoy was Branaugh's version (which i actually like the best overall). The scene definitely was on point with Hamlet's speech. You can feel the emotion and while watching it, the intensity rises.
