backround and theme

Nats Mother died due to cancer

Nats Dad died infront of Nat

left parentless and moves to aunt

Dont discuss the topic, which is denying Nat to move forward and the abilty to grieve peacfully

Community plays as a distraction of his sadness, but Nat is distancing to the grieving process

Chapter 1

Nat gets asked about his parents and says that he doesn't have parents

panic, hasn't told anybody about his loss

which causes him Flashbacks, overload and the only way to get out is to escape

Chapter 4

Has a dream of flying and gets timeshifed to 1599

desperation, confusion, overload

Chapter

meeting Shakespear in Person

enthusiasm

Chapter 8

can't sleep and has a culture shock and thinks about everything

pessimism, despair, overthinking his hole existence, misery, anxiety and fears, sadness

Is he dead? Why does all of this happen to him

But doesn't want to cry because the last time he cried was when his father died -> denial

Still Chapter 8

Gets a Hug

Has never felt like this before

Emotional Overload

He needed a listener and talked with Shakespear about everything

warmth and sympathy

Shakespear is like a hunter searching the hiden emotions in Nat

relief, sadness, capitulation to his body -> let his emotions run free and opening

Now he could se the death of his father clearly

Disapointment, self-agressivness, guilt -> gives fault to him self

Optimism given from Shakespear

gets love, optimism and hope

He seems like the father he never had

Terriefied losing Shakespear in who he created a new father figure

pesimism, because after the play he has to return to St. Pauls school

worrying about the performance

Chapter 11

Asking Shakespear if he could stay at him

loneliness and despair

Chapter 14

feeling of love, hope, lack of loves repairs and slowly gets back

gets poem from Shakespear

Realizes that love doesn't vanish with death, love stays

before the play

exitement, nervous, blends everything out, the only thing that matters now is the play, his passion, focus, full concentration

meeting Queen Elizabeth

Chapter 15

fear and respect towards her, tense and afraid to say or do sth wrong

still thinks alot about what is happening tho

wants to stay with Shakespear and is afraid how everything is going on

a feeling of pleasure and happiness, while being in the tavern with everybody

Chapter 19

he would never lose the poem, will miss Shakespear, unhappiness, for a short moment a feeling of being loved and having a father, it was forever

Nat is now again in 1999

kind of relief, but also confused, thinks about the dream he had

10. After telling Rachel and Gil everything

was used to the Elizabethan time and now misses it and needed a place to think silently

he had a feeling of relief and understandment, now has sb to talk to

11. After talking with his aunt

he had a feeling of understandment , good for the progess, sadness

13. discussion with Arby

But WHO IS ARBY

emotion overload

is shocked that Arby knows everything about him and is confused

is looking at all centuries and still deosn't understand everything, but knows that his father and Shakespear will always be there for him and love him

agressivness and rage
