What if one of these pranks happened to you? Would you be mad? Would you seek revenge? ...wait revenge, what's that? Revenge means that you retaliate for something done to you. Revenge is found in many ways in today's world. One of the most common versions is prank wars. This couple, you are about to watch in the video, have an on going prank war between the two of them. In this video the girl is revenging her boyfriend for filling her cabinets with little plastic balls by putting those same balls in his new car. Although the revenge in this video is not as violent or mean as the revenge in the book Hamlet by William Shakespeare, it is still a form of revenge. In Hamlet, Hamlet, the son of Queen Gertrude and King Hamlet, wants to kill his uncle Claudius, who is also his new step father, for killing his father. The King wanted to kill his brother so he could take the throne and his brothers wife. Hamlet does not find out who actually killed his dad until about half-way through the book, when he meets his father as a ghost one night. Hamlet is then sworn not to tell anyone about speaking with his father's ghost. He then acts like he is mad in order to make it seem like he does not know anything. It takes Hamlet most of the book to plot his revenge and to go through with it. Revenge can lead to awful things such as death or injury, or death of someone you did not want to seek vengeance on. This video is a perfect example of revenge gone wrong. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbNC3q0L1s). See how fast revenge can go wrong? It may have been a bit of an over reaction, but it still did not turn out good for the guys who were making the revenge call. This is how it is going to be in Hamlet, also. In act three; scene four, Hamlet accidentally kills his lover's Ophelia, father while he is listening in on him and his mother's conversation. After Hamlet realizes what he has done he feels bad and says that he did not do it on purpose he was just scared as to who was listening. This also brings up a prediction that Polonius', son, Laertes, and his daughter will now want to seek revenge on Hamlet for killing their father. Since I have not finished the book I am not entirely sure how it ends but I have a clue. Revenge is a subject that is difficult to tell what the outcome will be exactly, but that is the beauty of it. In my opinion, without knowing what exactly is going to happen gives you the thrill of a mystery. Revenge is sort of tricky to grasp, sometimes you don't even realize that you are revenging someone, but then if it takes a turn for the worst you might realize what you have been doing the whole. Sometimes revenge is something planned because a boy cheats on you or something mean or ignorant is done to you. A great song to show this is Better Than Revenge by Taylor swift. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRRUMcf93FY) So think back, have you ever gotten revenge on someone? I know I have, I actually didn't even realize I did until I wrote this, weird huh? Revenge is a sneaky thing. What do you think about revenge?
The pranks were a great way to capture the reader's attention! I also liked how you connected the pranks to Hamlet. It flowed very nicely. I agree that revenge is a bit like a mystery and that's what makes it so exciting! I also like that you put Taylor Swift's "Better Than Revenge" in there! I put it in my blog, too! Great job!
You did a great job realtaing this type of revenge to hamlet! Revenge can be a really exciting thing if done correctly. I also put the Taylor Swift song in my blog! Greta minds think a like. I hope to read more from you soon!
I liked the way you grabbed he reader with the video of pranks. I thought it was very clever. i almost put that same song in my blog but i already had lots of videos... I think it's a great song and describes the topic well also. Nice post!
I love how you started the blog off with pictures and a video of pranks. It was a great way to catch the reader's attention! You kept my attention the whole time while talking about Hamlet too. You explained the play in a great way. I really like this post! Good job!
If one of those pranks would happen to me I probably would break out laughing. Then I would seek revenge. With the whole planking thing going on, I love how you also included that some pranks do go wrong like the phone prank. With the pictures that you put on you blog the one that I would do to my friends would be the sticky notes all over the place
Everyone likes pulling pranks on other people, but they do not usually enjoy it when it happens to them. I tend to be one of those people, depending on the day. I have only watched Prank Wars once or twice, but it was a good example for this post. Good job including videos to go along with your post. Having the video right at the top actually did grab my attention and I wanted to keep reading. There are a few other shows, that I can't think of at the moment, that are long the lines of revenge within pranks. Good point at the end where you said that you aren't always aware that you are getting revenge. I think revenge is a dangerous thing. Revenge is like a vicious cycle that pretty much never ends, which is why (like you said) it's hard to grasp.
