Could this be?

Oh joy, it is time for another Shakespeare play; read the first three scenes, with analysis by Monday, great. The writer that every high school student curses from freshman to senior year strikes again; How do you do oh malicious and conniving one? Well, Might as well cancel all my plans for the weekend, because this might take a while. Wait, maybe I can push it off for a while, its only Modern English right? Oh well, I guess it is inevitable, might as well get this over with. Opening the front cover slowly, and already dreading every second of this assignment. Bracing myself for the worst, for I know exactly how much work it is going to take to even achieve a basic understanding of Hamlet, the play that everyone says is Shakespeare’s hardest play to decipher. Reading every word as if it were the first time, but something feels different about Shakespeare on this occasion. Suddenly the words don’t seem like a complete alien language, impossible to decipher and the sentences are actually coming together like, well, sentences. Could this be, this actually makes sense? Gaining confidence as we progress through the scenes; Hamlet now has a mother who is also his aunt less than two months after his father dies, a monkey could figure that out. Hamlet’s father makes an appearance and tries to speak to Horatio, simple stuff; is my mind playing tricks on me just as Horatio believes he is experiencing? Do I actually understand this, or is it just fools luck and it will seem like a complete abstraction, just as it did, tomorrow? Hopefully not, because reading Shakespeare when you can actually understand is far more enticing than any movie ever made and even any book for that matter.
