Preformance Choices

I was Queen Gertrude and my performance choice was one of becoming very seductive while empowering myself by touching and feeling Ashkan.  I was very furtive and sly with my words while I am trying to persuade Ashkan to stay in Denmark.  Ashkan was very sarcastic and trying to belittle me with his over exaggeration of the word Seems.  Our performance choice of Ashkan exaggerating and trying to belittle me, is very like Hamlet as he is frustrated and angry with his mother.  His mother, me, plays the part of innocence and seductiveness, trying to convince Ashkan that I did no wrong and that he should remain in Denmark.  Hamlet, Ashkan, is not fooled by my acting or my furtive and sly and seductive persona.
