Hamlet - Act 1 Summary
Words: 326 - Pages: 2.... understand why. It makes no sense, why would they 'suddenly' care about our relations? It sure seems that EVERYONE is against me these days! I feel like committing suicide. But, before I get to that point, I must avenge my father.
I am starting to plot how I will kill Claudius in my mind. I am not sure whether to make him suffer or just kind of blast him. My fathers' spirit has told me to leave my mother, Gertrude, to suffer until she dies. I sure hope that is a LONG time.

pantheistic and acquiescent response in the young boy There he felt the individual ego diminished and merged with something much greater.” (Internet #2)

Are those needs going to be put on a hold until farming was finished? Will ill people have to wait for a doctor until he has spare time to help?
