Blog Post #13 Act I (Horatio)

I am much oppressed to see that my dear friend Hamlet is in the center of ideologies full of corruption. Why he cannot single handedly take matters into his own hands, but how should I help him. Hamlet has simply gone outraged as I overheard his rumblings within his hall. I only have “a piece of him,” (1.1.19), but I must search for others as he has lost them all after his father’s death. To make matters worse, King Hamlet senior has told his son to vow revenge against the very corrupt Claudius. Why, before me and Marcellus could reach Hamlet, the ghost of King Hamlet senior “vanish’d from our sight,” (1.2.119). If I observed this ghost, I would call for it to bring an army in order to fight the corrupt souls within the walls of Denmark. Why should Hamlet feel the burden, himself?  Hamlet’s anger after hearing his father shows his haste with revenge against Claudius. “While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred,” (1.2.236). I must stop Hamlet’s urgency to vow revenge against the corrupt, as it will bring very grave dangers beyond his powers.

Furthermore, in this blog post, I must convey the corrupt state of affairs within the happenings of Denmark. Claudius is simply a corrupt individual driven by lust for the queen and greed for the throne. Claudius contains “some vicious mole of nature,” (1.4.24). Since nature has chosen his origin he cannot be saved from the treacherous hands of corruption or from Hamlet’s bloody revenge. All actions have a price, time has come to which he must now pay. What Claudius believed once dead is now alive revisiting “the glimpses of the moon,” (1.4.53). Claudius, beware! Hamlet Senior has unleashed the fury of his son on you, due to your treacherous act of murder. Why you have done very much than murdering King Hamlet secnior. You have stolen his love which is the queen. Why true love will live over lust, Claudius. Beware!
