                                                                          Horatio: Having a nice time listening to my Friend

                                                                          Rozencratz: Who?

                                                                          Horatio: For Hamlet of course

                                                                          Rozencratz: But why?

                                                                          Horatio: That is a secret.

The selfie picture is shown as Horatio posing for a selfie pose, as he is spying on the King and Queen during the play. Horatio simply exemplifies the virtue of “anger.” Horatio as a character is very loyal to Hamlet; simply he feels the same emotions as that of Hamlet. Simply, Horatio is also committing a crime due to the unbearable “whips and scorns of time (3.1.70). Horatio commits a crime of spying on the king and queen due to the lawfulness of the kingdom. As a character, his flaw contemplates him to do deeds that Hamlet’s enemy is also committing to, espionage. Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius, sends Rosencratz and Guildenstern in order spy on Hamlet. For the duty of loyalty and anger on Hamlets behalf, he listens to all of Hamlet’s instruction without question. He simply abides by Hamlets saying “Why, any thing, but to the purpose,” (2.2.259). Therefore, Horatio’s flaw “anger” seems to carry a blind purpose to the orders of that of Hamlet.
