As one of the final activities on the book, she was supposed to give and write a new end for Shakespeare's most famous tragedy. Here it is. Read and enjoy.Hamlet is standing in the graveyard and sees a procession approaching. It's Ophelia's Funeral.The Queen (throwing flowers into the grave): - "Sweet to the sweet." Hamlet (shouting): "- Stop, stop. Ophelia is alive. The ghost and Claudius played a big trick on us, on the kingdom."Gertrude: "- Which ghost?"Hamlet: "- My father's ghost. Open the coffin, Ophelia is not there. (pointing to the mountain). She is over there." People in procession look at the mountains and see Ophelia jumping, wearing a beautiful bride dress.Ophelia: "- Hi! Let's go to the church, for my marriage to my Prince."Gertrude looks at Claudius without understanding what is happening.Claudius (smiling): "- All the last events at the court are due to the fact that the ghost and I would like to know if Hamlet was strong enough to have the crown, because I want to pass it to him."The people walk to the church. The marriage happens. The Kingdom retakes the peace. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of our class readings. It is a dramatic story about life in Boston during the 17th century. Its main theme is women adultery, at a time when women were even more discriminated and disrespected and Puritan values prevailed in the emerging village of Boston. The plot is set in a dark scenery of resignation, cowardice, sorrow and grief, entailed by an intensive submission to the Puritan moral. Triggered by the courageous personality of Hester Prynne, the guilty and confused personality of Reverend Dimmesdale and the lost character of Roger Chillingword, the narrative exposes us to the horrible events of those times, including the witch trials. Those were trials where people were easily accused and punished for witchcraft. The intriguing point is that there were no proofs not even a reasonable argument for the suspicions. Arthur Miller, another American writer of those times, portrayed such trials in the play The Crucible, which later became a film starred by Daniel De Lewis and Winona Ryder.The novel The Scarlet Letter and story The Crucible are an opportunity to understand how an ideology allied to personal beliefs and interests can corrupt genuine human values such as reason, compassion and honesty.Image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trialsText by Kaciana Fernandes Alonso, 2013 for Ingles e Cultura blog. http://www.grammarly.com/?q=grammar&gclid=CPfG7diW0LYCFQWCnQod9GsAMg (from English is Fun page on Facebook on February 14th) AtchinMestreFelizDengosoZangadoDungaSoneca http://palcomp3.com/charlenefernandes/ Congresso Salmistas!
