weekly blog 10/3

The theory I choose to further study and incorporate into the Hamlet unit is Psychological studies. I think exploring peoples thoughts and motivations is a very unique strategy which is importatant in figuring out certain meanings of events. The actions behind our motives are questionable to others and being able to study and find meaning in those actions can help us as a society come together.
 Based on differant texts and even events in our lives, people respond differantly based on their own experiances, in regards to that the human mind is so complex in all aspects that analyzing and describing people's reactions can be an exceptional task.
Looking closer into Hamlet itself, the entire umbrella of Psychology has so many differant meanings and explorations that there are certain characters and events we must choose to focus on. There are also a great deal of psychological studies available in regards to peoples actions and behaviors and their environments, for example. I think being able to look at the psychological aspect of Hamlet will really allows us to connect with the text emotionally because we will be basing it off our own reactions and experiances as well. Lastly in some way or another all the stratagies somehow interwind, so studying psychology will allows us to not only further understand what we are reading but also communicate with our peers, looking through a differant lense.
