 * **Consider the "style" of one of the characters - in modern times. What would they wear? What food would they like? What would they do in their spare time? Would they have a Facebook page? What would be their Twitter handle? Base your assumptions on their character profile in the play. (400 words with images)** ||
 * I considered the style of Hamlet. I eventually came to the conclusion that he wouldn’t have Facebook, he would be more of a blogger. “hamletsangst.tumblr.com” would be his URL and his dashboard would be full of dark and grunge-like pictures and text posts. He would post deep philosophical posts about the world and death. I feel that he would make posts against women and express his feelings on feminism. He wouldn’t have a twitter because he would think it’s too mainstream, too much like everyone else. He’d have a flip phone because he is not materialistic. Hamlet’s attire would be rather dark; wearing mostly blacks and forest green and I think his hair would be greasy for the most part. He wouldn’t be one to bite his tongue so I picture him receiving much hate from anonymous internet bloggers and also having a lot of followers on his blogs who do agree with that he says. Hamlet would probably watch shows like Ancient Aliens because it questions nearly everything on the planet and how it became. If Hamlet were in high school in our day and age, he would be in classes like Genocide studies, English, French, and Philosophy. I feel like he would be on the school debate team because of his quick mind and sharp tongue. His favourite movie would be Teenage Dirtbag because of the hidden depths of the film and his own reflections in it. To help cope with the death of his father, I imagine Hamlet would be in ongoing therapy. He wouldn’t have a steady girlfriend because he doesn’t trust women due to his troubled relationship with his mother and previous girlfriend. He would be a fan of well-cooked steak and potatoes and in his spare time he would enjoy mind games and puzzles.

I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeah Since I've been loving you, I'm gonna lose my worried mind.

I feel that this song would relate with Hamlet because the song is sexist in the way that it says that the woman had the nerve to break up with him, after all he’s done for her. I feel like this is something Hamlet would think towards all women, thinking that the man does everything and the women shouldn’t have the authority to break up with the man.

[|Don't Leave Me Now - Pink Floyd]

I need you, babe To put through the shredder In front of my friends How can you treat me this way? Running away

I think that the feeling and words of this song would work with Hamlet’s situation with how he feels towards women when he decides that he wants to ban marriages. Also I think that this is how Hamlet feels Claudius acts towards his mother, although it is an exaggerated version, but I think that it would show how deep his hatred is towards Claudius.

[|Attitude - Misfits]

Inside your feeble brain there’s probably a whore If you don’t shut your mouth you’re gonna feel the floor

I feel like these lyrics are what Hamlet’s sexist feelings are towards his mother when he rants to her about Claudius.

[|Living Loving Maid - Led Zeppelin]

Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be. With the butler and the maid and the servants three. Nobody hears a single word you say. But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

I think that this song describes how Hamlet thinks of his mother when he is ranting to her about how she married Claudius.

[|Black Coffee - Black Flag]

If the night goes on, paranoia adultery Why should I be so stupid, when I can't really see The other side of the wall, is eating away at me Anger and Coffee, feeling mean

I feel that this is how Hamlet feels towards his mother, like she is almost cheating on her dead husband by marrying his brother. I think that Hamlet would say this song describes his sexist feelings towards his mother because he thinks that she is just like any other woman, and he can’t seem to control his anger about it.
