Somehow I have gotten with this book of tragedy and read it up. Never mind how I got it, but this book is really tragedic. With this guy called Hamlet avenging his father to kill his uncle, all became so sad.
It started when suddenly the castle is haunted by a ghost. Three sentinels, Marcellus, Barnado and Francisco were standing on guard, chatting when suddenly a ghost comes in. Strangely, this ghost looked like the dead king of Denmark! Three of them forced him to speak something, but the ghost just went off. After this, the scene was set in the Council Chamber where the king, Claudius, grieves for the recent death of the previous king which was also his brother. He also granted the leave of Laertes, the king's advisor Polonius's son, to France.
This is where Hamlet comes in. The king asked Hamlet not to grieve too much on his father's death and look on the bright side. When I first looked at Hamlet, I always thought that he hated the king, also his uncle, by the use of words. Anyway, after only Hamlet remains, he grieves again for his father (and I knew one thing: the king remarried the queen!!). The real story begins when Horatio (Hamlet's friend) with two sentinels came to Hamlet and told him of the ghostly thing. Hamlet seemed interested and kept asking Horatio about the ghost.
In the next scene, Laertes prepared to take his leave with Ophelia (his sister) watching him leave. He advised Ophelia not to love Hamlet too much and stay away from him (Ophelia can also be said as Hamlet's girlfriend, and seems to me that hardly anyone likes Hamlet). Later, Polonius comes in and advised Laertes before he leaves.
This Is the Only Level
