Blog Post #13; Hamlet Post #1 Hamlet Act I blog post

Okay, I was holding off on saying all of this, but now that I'm on the internet, the most safest place in the world where no one will ever find any of my deepest rantings, I guess it's safe to talk about it. Well, I've done it. I've finally done it. I, Claudius, am the king. The other day I married, she is a beautiful woman, that Gertrude, 'Our sometimes sister, now our queen (1.2.8).' Of course in marrying her I also now have Hamlet, 'my cousin, and my son (1.2.117).' Though, he doesn't seem to like me much. Here I am, trying to help him out and make him more manly by telling him that mourning his father is 'unmanly grief, a fault to nature and to heaven (1.2.101-102),' so that he can look better, and quite honestly so that he can make me look better. But no, of course that can't happen. Ugh. That's just one more reason I cannot wait until the mourning period of 'our late dear brother's death (1.2.19)' has ended. Then, maybe I'll be able to make some changes. Do what should  have been done ages ago. So long as Hamlet doesn't get in the way of all of it. Then people may ask questions, and I could risk my Throne. Obviously, that is not an option. Everyone just needs to move on so that we can make some progress.  #KingClaudius4evr #NothingsRottenInTheStateOfDenmark
