The play scene in Hamlet with adding fictional characterHamlet: Act 2, Scene 2 https://www.playshakespeare.com/hamlet/scenes/act-ii-scene-2 * The following is a scenario that was re-adapted by adding a fictional character, Hans, from some scenes of Hamlet, one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies, inspired by conversations related to the play. In the part where two friends visit Hamlet and talk about the troupe, I would like to add a theater official who appears with Guildenstern and Rosencrantz. The official's name is Hans. This official will appear together in a conversation with the two friends before 4-5 actors in the play. Personally, I read the part where Hamlet and his two friends exchange trends about theater and play. I could confirm Hamlet's understanding, thoughts, and values about theater through this line. And this connects us to the play we are learning, and it is conducive when looking at the role of play in education and its psychological effects. The time when Hamlet appeared was the Renaissance era when anthropocentrism was rising. In the period of monarchism, which stood at the center based on monarchy, and in the age of humanism based on the Renaissance, which was just taking off, the scene can explain why a person is experiencing confusion about two tremendous values. Also, Hamlet is experiencing humanism, but the human world he experiences is not so beautiful and sublime. Somewhat, they sharpened their swords of vengeance, struggled for their position, and deceived each other and themselves. So, in my opinion, Hamlet seems to have aggravated his ambivalence with this background of the times. Compared to these tragic seeds, it is noteworthy that Hamlet's thoughts and values about the play, which can only be seen with normal thinking, are worth noting. This may be a projection of Shakespeare's thoughts. Modern times also don't seem to be any different from the situation Hamlet lived in, so I decided on this passage because it gives us an answer to how we should look at the play in this chaotic era. While imagining it might be the same as Da Vinci's code, which Shakespeare predicted and secretly left behind in the modern age of chaos for modern people. For example, in one of Hamlet's lines below, "'Tis well, I'll have thee speak out the rest of this soon. Good my lord, will you see the players well bestow'd? Do you hear, let them be well us'd, for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time. In After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live." In other words, we know that life is a play and that the solidarity that shows our lives is the stage. Considering Hamlet's psychology that reality was more painful than the play, I wonder if Hamlet wanted to check and face his existence through the play stage and be comforted again. In particular, as Hamlet and his two friends discussed theater trends that changed the play's form to a children-oriented performance, the existing performances lost their seats and turned into touring performances. In this case, Hamlet thought that the education and management of children would need to be done appropriately. It is a part where we can guess that Hamlet could have become a great director and professor of the educational theater if he had not had a tragic personal history, the appearance of ghosts, and the awakening of the truth. Based on the awareness and role of plays in the Hamlet era and the curiosity, wonder, and interest in Hamlet looking at these plays, I added "Hans" as a fictional character, a director of the theater company, as a new character to this movement. Later, during a conversation with his two friends, Hans will come out before the five players who appear and introduce the five players of his troupe, talking about the current status of the theater and the importance of the play. Through this conversation with Hans, the audience can understand and consider the theater of Hamlet's era. I think it will be helpful to understand the natural plot of the five players who appeared later. For innate modern understanding and observation of the flow of the play, I inform you that the language is not the language of Shakespeare's era but the current language. Story Rosencrantz: Hamlet, my friend. I brought the leader of the candle band named Hans here. He is the representative of the theater company you requested because you wanted to put on a performance. He toured for a few months as a traveling performance and returned to Denmark. (Looks at Hans, who is standing nervously at the door, and Rosencrantz pretends to let him come in). Hans is very tired now, but he wants to hear you. Hans is a representative theater director in his 60s, wearing a green top and yellow pants. He must have been extremely nervous before meeting Hamlet, and the shiny accessories of his vest over his green coat were twisted in places, revealing that he had pulled off the decorations to relieve the tension. Without the courage to look around, he quietly stood there with his head lowered, paying attention to his breathing until someone called out. Hamlet: Why do actors go on tour these days? It would be better for reputation and income to settle in one city than to travel from place to place. Hans: My lord (after bowing, he gets up on his knees) There have been many changes in the theater recently. Especially these days, the theater is playing with children as actors. These children-oriented plays are in vogue these days. Everyone stands in a long line to see a show put on by kids (sighs), and nerds like us should grow old in the back room. (After a moment of silence) Still, thank you for calling our band like this. You pulled the wick of a fading candle and made a bright light. However, since You only pulled the wick, I am still thinking about when it will turn off again. We earn that day and spend that day. Rosenkrantz: You seem to be having trouble with the latest fads. Hans told me about this difficulty before. Hamlet: Rosencrantz! Is their reputation the same as when I was in the city? How about popularity? Rosencrantz: No, they try as they always do. However, audiences these days are not what they used to be. That's what fashion is. Every single day changes differently. I don't know much about theater... Hans, isn't it? What do you think? Hans: Theater is like our life. In our lives, there are times when we are sad and suffering, and despite this, there are times when we are happy, and there are times when we are moved... (Glances at Rosenkrantz for a moment) If this is a fad, you have yet to understand either life or the theater well. Hamlet: Hans, can the play show the audience what's deep inside me? Do not exaggerate or understate it. If that's the case, Rosenkrantz, you'll have to apologize to Hans for saying it's fashionable. Hans: My lord, if a theater is a life, and it was not for showing the human heart as it is, I would not have remained in this dying stage to keep the remaining embers alive. Hamlet: That's right. I've seen your band play before... (looks up as if thinking for a moment, then looks back at Hans) Excellent play, the scenes are well put together, the sentences are very skillful and so understated. Some people say that there is not a single practice of seasoning with seasonings and that they use a sincere method, and I want to believe what you said. Hans: My honor, Master! Who can cry and laugh for you if we don't set the stage and send the actors up to cry and laugh? Master! I know very well why you called me today. What pain do you want to show? What joy or emotion do you like to express? Five outstanding actors from our orchestra will gladly perform on stage for you, crying, laughing, and ready to die. (he is prepared to burst into tears for a moment) Master... please just tell me. Guildenstern: All you have to do is say the lines we ask for and do what we ask. You will get paid that much. Hamlet: I don't think so. Guildenstern. Your heart isn't suffering enough if you feel like that. Have you ever thought that your heart is in so much pain, your heart bursts, your body disintegrates and becomes liquid, and you want to disappear without a sound like the dew of the cold dawn? You don't know what life is. Hans will probably give me a good answer. Treat them well. An actor is a summary of time, a short chronicle. We will be recorded and must show posterity that no matter what anyone says, we live our lives, whether a tragedy or a comedy. I want to be true to my feelings. The First Folio of ShakespeareThe First Folio of Shakespeare is the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, produced seven years after Shakespeare's death in 1623. The title is Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories & Tragedies, for the first time grouping his plays under the categories Comedy, History, and Tragedy. Without the First Folio, 18 plays would have been lost forever. This is because, prior to the publication of this book, of the 36 plays included in the First Folio, the following 18 had never been published.
Among other things, the title page of the First Folio contains an original portrait of Shakespeare, sculpted by artist Martin Droeshout. If you are curious about Shakespeare's real appearance, you can know it by looking at the portrait in this book. This book is a compilation of his plays by his friends and former colleagues John Heminge and Henry Condell, who are also partners in the King's Men acting company. Heminge and Condell worked with Shakespeare for several years and, like him, were actors and shareholders in the King's Men. At the time of First Folio, Heminge was the company's business manager. The book was published by a London syndicate headed by Edward Blount and Isaac Jaggard. A folio is a large book made of printed paper folded in half, with each sheet having four pages. This format is usually reserved for history, religion, and other important subjects. The First Folio was the first folio published in England exclusively for theatrical use. Also, playwrights of Shakespeare's time often collaborated. Some scholars have argued that Shakespeare also worked on certain other plays. title page and poem These two pages contain the poem "To the Reader" by Shakespeare's fellow playwright and friendly rival, Ben Johnson. Jonson writes about the portrait of Shakespeare engraved on the title page, noting that it can only show Shakespeare and not "his wit". He advises readers who want to know Shakespeare to "look at his books, not his pictures." On the title page, the name "Shakespeare" is as large as a line of type. The full title of the First Folio includes three categories in which the First Folio divides plays: Mr. Includes William Shakespeare Comedies, Tragedies, & Histories. “Sweet Swan of Avon” In addition to the short verse that appears next to the title page, Ben Jonson wrote another poem for the First Folio. The second page of the poem shown here famously describes Shakespeare as "the sweet swan of Avon". In the First Folio, Heminge and Condell first classified Shakespeare's plays into three categories: comedy, history, and tragedy. list of actors The 26 actors listed here were the first to embody Shakespeare's plays on stage, including Shakespeare himself. Since women did not appear on stage, both male and female roles were played by men and boys.

These basic skills are usually a study that anyone from beginners to pros should continue to train. In particular, when you get stuck while drawing, one of the ways is to look at this basic skill rather than anything else. The degree of completion and working time vary depending on how skilled you are in the ability to observe objects and the skill of drawing by hand. . In other words, painting is not solved by investing a lot of effort and time, and the quality of painting depends on the skill of depiction. In other words, rather than continuing to draw unconditionally in order to improve your painting skills, you should develop your descriptive skills to express your paintings beautifully by looking at various good samples, appreciating masterpieces in art galleries, and so on. In this respect, basic sketches and watercolors for drawing spheres are very important. The biggest mistake newbies make is trying something hard from the start. For example, beginners will experience a lot of frustration when they try to draw a sea with a sunset or a city landscape. In this case, it is best to master the basics first and go up step by step. The picture below is a sketch and watercolor painting of an apple drawn by Amy and Jessica. They only drew an apple by arranging it on paper, which shows that it can be a work of art by itself. There are different ways and techniques to express apologies, and they are original and beautiful enough. Student's artworks by Joyce and Olivia The portrait below is a picture Olivia drew in order from the eyes, nose and mouth. Afterwards, it was completed by placing it in consideration of the proportions of the entire face. It is a tough challenge for children to draw a human face. However, if you draw step by step like Olivia, you can overcome your fear and complete the character before you know it. And below is a picture of Joyce. Joyce can paint with her own unique touch. She nicely completed the mysterious human face. |
