I'm starting to get fed up with Hamlet, three months after his father dies and he’s still moping around like some moody teen. He seems to think that he is the only one affected by his fathers death. How narcissistic can one be? The realm lost their king, his mother lost her husband, and we were thrown into turmoil. Oh, and I lost my brother too. Which is upsetting… of course. Admittedly it worked out pretty well for me, but it would be nice all the same for Hamlet to get over it. For both of us.
I understand that he’s probably upset about me marrying Gertrude, but it was necessary the good of the country. What with Fortinbras wanting his father’s old land back, we can’t have the monarchy weakened by death. And if I just happen to benefit by being able to marry Gertrude, so be it. Sure we married quickly, but we were in love for a lot longer than two months.
How could you be so insensitive to my love, Hamlet? Not even giving him the chance to recover from the death of his father before you swoop in and marry his mother and now you are insisting he should just get over it? It's impossible for one to deal with that many ups and downs at one time without being melancholy. Have some tact!
ReplyDeleteYour picture might need a bit of explaining, but I still love Beavis and Butthead. Goal for next post: try to include a hyper link. Always aim to include diction from the play or key plot moments as well, to show your knowledge. Overall, solid effort
ReplyDeleteHaven't you realized that the death of my father has crushed me? I cannot simply forget the most influential and loved person I know. Not only that, but the speed in which you married my mother surprised me, I expected her to feel much more lost without my father. Don't act so surprised...
