Like any other audio book, the speaker really sets the idea of the characters. The way the speaker interprets the character, is normally the way the reader, or follower will interpret the character. As you played Hamlet, I couldn’t really grasp a rhythm on how you interpreted him. I wondered if you had an opinion, or if you were really just expressing ALL of the emotions that Hamlet goes through. Or maybe thats just what confused me. i think you did a great job when it came time for Hamlet to over react and go “beast mode” randomly. Like I said, however you interpret him, is how many people will interpret the character. Which, is not really a good habit to get into. So, I would try to listen to how you interpreted it, and completely go against it and try to see the opposite view. I’m not saying that how you interpreted it was bad or anything, because it wasn’t, it’s your opinion. But, I think that following how one person interprets one thing, and thinking that that’s right, isn’t really understanding the story/play. Sooooooooo…. yeah I just thought in different terms, to be difficult……………

WHICH, OF COURSE SCEWED ME OVER. HM… shocker there? 

 

But anyways, keep up the good work. I payed attention, so I knew what was going on! Like Mrs. Duke always says, “Have your own opinion, figure it out for yourself!”

So I did just what I was told, long story short, I got the same interpretation later on, just not in the beginning.

This is the first audio book blog Ive read that discusses characters. I thought they were indistinguishable though. While I was listening, all of the charactewr’s voices sounded similar.
