I feel guilty for telling Hamlet about the ghost. The second he saw the ghost, he was mesmerized and wouldn’t listen to anyone but the ghost. I don’t know what the ghost said to my best friend, but it seemed to me that the conversation changed Hamlet. He has gone mad and his imagination is making him crazy, “He waxes desperate with imagination”. (1, 4, 87) He wouldn’t tell me what the ghost said to him. I wonder if he believes what the ghost said? Can you believe a ghost? I am worried for him. When I asked him what the ghost told him, Hamlet basically said the ghost reminded him that any villain is a villain, but that’s no news to us and I think he is lying. He repeatedly asked me not to tell anyone what I saw tonight and to keep the ghost a secret. Hamlet has always been an odd guy, very introverted and mysterious, but I think the conversation triggered something in him and I have a feeling something might happen, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”.(1,4, 90) I know he isn’t in a good place right now, considering his father died, therefore I hope he can snap out of this and get better. I will be there for him no matter what; Hamlet can always count on me.
Merit, this is really good. I love the depth of information you put in here. Well done. Goals for next time: try to include a form of media and also a hyper link. Great work! Keep it up!
