Death (From the Grave)

Death sucks. The plan to kill Hamlet backfired on me and I ended up getting stabbed by the poisoned sword after I stabbed Hamlet. I got my revenge and all but it isn't as satisfying as I thought it would be...maybe cause I died and did not get to feel that feeling of accomplishment. Then there's the fact that everyone else died. Gertrude drank the poisoned drink that Hamlet was supposed to drink, Hamlet stabbed Claudius and then made him drink the poison, effectively killing him. And then of course there's the death of Hamlet. I even forgave him for killing my dad before we dueled. Horatio seems to be the only one that lived through the events.

Ophelia...gone?

My father first...my dear sister Ophelia drownd...who is to say I am not next? Shortly after I arrived she goes off and dies. What kind of homecoming is that? I had just seen her moments prior and she was acting really loopy but that doesn't give her an excuse to go and die. Then at her funeral Hamlet has the nerve to show up and proclaim that he loved her more than forty thousand of her brothers could have. This is all of his fault that my family has died. He's lucky I did not kill him then and there.

A scheme

The King has a plan that satisfies my want to avenge my father's death. Upon my arrival Claudius has told me it was Hamlet that has killed my father, Polonius. The plan is for me to duel with Hamlet and we are going to put poison upon my blade that way all I need to do is to nick him and pierce the skin. If that fails than Clauduis will offer him a poisoned drink that will finish him in moments. What better way to fulfill my revenge to my father than to have an honor duel with Hamlet in a fair fight?

My somewhat less than grand entrance

If it was possible to redo my entrance in front of the King, I would do it again. It was a rather embarrassing scene for me. I come barging in with a mob of people shouting my name to be the king and I'm yelling for the King. Of course the King would be standing in the room that I have thrown the doors open in and I have to ask all of the Danish people following me to leave so I can speak with the King. It was a rather flustering moment for everyone.

Fortinbras on the move?

Fortinbras has over two thousand soldiers on the move. He says its for a small patch of land in Poland. Yet if it is so small, why is it really needed for him? There's more to it than that, I think. Hopefully Fortinbras isn't going to try and take advantage of the turmoil at Elsinore to take revenge for his father's death. As I am sure he has heard atleast rumors of the going ons at the castle if I heard of them in France.

I'm Coming Home

It is time for me to leave France. To much stuff is going on back home, with Hamlet going mentally insane and my father being killed, it is time for me to get home and settle things with my father's killer. In addition to that, my dear sister Ophelia is more than likely not handling the situation very well.

My Father is Dead?

How could it be, that my father would be stabbed and killed? In the queen's bedchamber nonetheless. I have no idea why he would even be there. Also what bastard would kill him? My old man would never harm anyone. Someone will pay for his death. When i get back to Elsinore, there is going to be hell to pay.

A Play Perhaps?

News of a play put together by Hamlet has reached me here in France. Evidently it seemed to nip at the heels of King Claudius for some reason... Also Hamlet seemed to create a scene during the time of entertainment. That man has steadily gone downhill since his father died. Maybe it is just his way of dealing, I wouldn't know, I have not lost a parent like he has.

France

France is great, it . The journey here was peaceful and quiet. Before I left Elsinore my father did what fathers usually do and gave me some advice on how to behave, as if I really needed it and my sister believes me to be a hypocrite after we discussed some things about Hamlet before I left. Perhaps I will prove her right while I am here...

My Sister Ophelia

Why does my dear sister insist on fantasizing over Hamlet? It is just something that is not going to work. Hamlet has to much on his mind to worry over my sister. Hamlet might be a good friend of mine, but I am not going to lie and say that he would treat her right when he would not. He's going through way to much with the death of his father and his mother's new marriage. If Ophelia tried to get really close to him now he would bring out all of his pent up frustration and emotional thoughts on her and I doubt Ophelia would be able to handle it. Hopefully nothing will happen when I leave the castle.
