Cheery Colors

Sorry Hamlet, you're color pallet isn't exactly what I'd call appealing. Hammy, I hate to say this, but you were going though a lot of emoticons/emojis during the time we spent together. Seriously dude, would it kill you to stop listening to all this shoegazey stuff? It might make you feel better. Any who, time to explain these colors.

First we start off with a nice yellow. The color of chivalry, no? Is there a more nobel and respected color in the world? I mean come on, people live to pull stuff from the earth with this color! We place it on the fingers of the ones we want to spend the rest of our lives with... This is how you're journey starts off Hamlet. It begins with a nobel quest given to you by ghost-dad. How bad could it go?

Next we have a faded red. The notion of the plan is getting to you. You think too much Hamlet! You let the questions fester and eat at you. You wait, pass up opportunities and miss the mark. The plan only makes you more upset though. Your passion is only growing stronger.

Although your passion is growing, you see the nobility in the plan fading away. Is revenge ever truly justified? (Bear with me here) Even though it may feel right and it may even justified, it never makes one feel any better does it? The effect of the warpath always hurts more than just the target, and Hamlet is figuring out this at this point in the play.

Next we have black. An utter blackness comes over the whole ensemble. Characters are picked off left and right, and the action is reaching a fever pitch. Nothing is right anymore. Hamlet actions can't be justified. He is consumed by revenge and in a fog of madness.

Finally we have bloodlust. This color represents more than just Hamlets actions. Laertes is consumed by his two losses, and vows to avenge them. The King kills Gertrude with a misplaced act of insurance. The world that revolves around Hamlet is crumbling and disintegrating. Everyone is dead and hot passion is splayed across floor.

Thanks Shakespeare. You always leave us with happy endings.
