Hamlet: 終於睇完本書喇

同 "My music & My movies" 冇關, 但因為題目係關於我鐘意嘅興趣, 所以夾硬放入在呢個 catergory !

依家已經8月, 我今年為止, 終於睇完第一本書 (旅遊書就當然例外啦 ), 真係醜死鬼

Shakespeare係我其中一位最喜歡嘅作家, Hamlet係佢其中一個最出色、最有名氣嘅作品, 但我都係今時今日先第一次睇佢呢個作品。而佢仲有無限咁多作品我係仲未睇過, 所以嚴格來講, 我不能說係佢真正 fan囉, 哈哈哈。

讀 Shakespeare嘅作品花我特別多嘅時間, 大家都可能估到點解, 因為佢唔係用現代英語寫作, 所以每次當我終於能夠讀完佢一本作品後, 我都覺得不可思議, 哈哈哈!!

依家我個腦話我知, 佢極需要 hea一段時間...



我睇 Hamlet時尤其喜歡嘅句子....

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. (Act II, scene ii)

To be or not to be - that is the question. (Act III, scene i)

If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.  (Act V, scene ii)

It has nothing to do with "My music & My movies", but because it's something about my interest (reading), so I put this blog post into this catergory !

It's already August now, but so far this year I have only read one book (well, of course excluding travel books). What a big shame to even tell you all this.

Shakespeare is one of my favourite writers/poets; and Hamlet is one of his best-known pieces of work... but it's until now that I read it, and there are loads of other works of him that I have never read before. So strictly speaking, I shouldn't really say I'm a big fan of him, hahaha.

It really takes me much time reading his plays, one reason, as you all know well, is that he didn't write in modern English. So each time when I FINALLY CAN finish reading one book of him, I find it extremely incredible! Hahhahaa.

Now my brain tells me it badly needs some good rest...



I especially love these lines from this play...

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. (Act II, scene ii)

To be or not to be - that is the question. (Act III, scene i)

If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.  (Act V, scene ii)
