to ride or not to ride

to ride or not to ride that is the question. should i let my body rest and try to live without riding? or should i go on suffering like a dog for hours upon hours for the miniscual chance that i might get a glimpse of a glorious victory that has thus far eluded me. should i ride over the gaurdrails to meet my sweet demise? is this addiction worth nurturing? is it better to live in agony or die in piece? for me the only way of living is to die doing what i am passionate about! to end my cycling would be the end of who i am. so i will ride until i die. my carbon stay will be my requiem

hamlet questions

1. i feel there is in a strange way sexual tension between hamlet and gertrude because of the very, malice and vicious verbal attacks that Hamlet does on Gertrude after she repeatedly cries out to him begin that he ceases his slanders against her lover.

2. i think hamlet has truly gone crazy. i feel this way because of his reaction of stabbing the man behind the curtain not just the one time. but the multiple stabbing and watching him bleed out.

3. i think this is a way of guidance to Hamlet on maybe a Devine level. but your right its pretty vague on why Gertrude cannot see the ghost and hamlet can.

4. in this scene i feel that Gertrude's outlook on hamlet is about 50/50. i feel that she realizes what she has done because of hamlet and it was all in good nature. but she also realizes he did it in a very crazy way. i also feel that because Hamlet is doing this to his mother he has a faint glow of compassion towards his mom. i think that Gertrude will try to distance herself from Claudius because she seemed like she had her eyes opened up by Hamlet
