Blog Post #14; Hamlet Post #2

Hello internet, it's me again, King Claudius. So, I stumbled upon this movie last night when I was flipping throught the channels. I believe it was called Enchanted Ella, Ella Enchanted, something like that. There was this girl who did everything she was told, and she fell in love with this prince who had an uncle that took over the throne after his brother's death. Now, personally, I think there was too much focus on this weird obedient girl. The one who really intrigued me was the King. I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky he was that his blasted nephew didn't constantly get in the way of everything--Or at least not until many many years after he'd taken control of the throne. But the girl, oh, that girl, she gets in the way of literally everything. Such a troublemaker. They did not have to deal with the whole situation of 'uncle-father aunt-mother (2.2.325).' Aside from that, I was told that Fortinbras had given money 'so levied as before, against the Polack (2.2.74).' I feel like I should be slightly worried about his usage of my funds, but Polonius had much more important information to give me about Hamlet. After all, my well being is much greater than that of the kingdom's, right? He said to me, 'your noble son is mad: Mad I call it; for, to define true madness, whatt is't but to be nothing else but mad? (2.2.92-94)' Something had to be done about him. Or at least I needed to find some reason to take him down, send him out of the country maybe? England, perhaps? I don't know. All I can do now is hope he continues to dig himself into a hole 'of his own distemper (2.2.55).' I just keep hearing him talking about these players and some play, it seems to be his most recent source of raving. Just him in his room, repeating over and over again, "The play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king, (2.2.532-533)" whatever that is supposed to mean. One can only imagine, with Hamlet. Until next time.
