Creative Writing of Hamlet Brad Zo mick I guess I have been oblivious up to this point. I knew things were getting weird but I didn’t realize the magnitude of it until my dead father rose from the grave to explain things to me. I remember back in the day when things were good. Now everything is rotten. Father is dead and mom is married to Uncle Claudius, who is also king. How did I not see what was going on? I never suspected mom of cheating on dad.
I guess it was possible because he was always away being a good king. But how could mom help Claudius kill dad, her husband? I really never paid attention to what mom or Claudius did around the castle when dad was away. He was away a lot, fighting wars, signing treaties, and being king. He was a busy guy. He always told me to keep things in order when he was away. I guess I screwed up.
I remember one incident in particular. I was must have been eight years old at the time. Dad was going to fight in Norway. We had a talk before he left. We sat down in the courtyard. It was a beautiful day and dad’s presence was like another sun.
He seemed to glow as he spoke to me. He said, ‘Hammy, I will be away for a while. I want you to watch mommy, and guard our fortress from invaders. Take this. It will help you be strong.’ He gave me a small gold dagger. He left that afternoon and I knew he wouldn’t be back for a long time.
Things carried on as usual. I ran around the castle playing and shirking any responsibility that I had. One day I was playing hide-and-go-seek with Laertes and the other kids. I accidentally strayed from the other kids.
The Essay on Love Loss And The Court Of King Claudius
Emily HuskinsEnglish IV (H) December 9, 1999 Love, Loss, and the Court of King Claudius Shakespeare worked with the simplest of principals, writing at the mind's own speed, using everything he read, but reworking it first, and depending upon characters for the defining trait or flaw. One theme which constantly emerges throughout Hamlet is the theme of love and loss, revealed by the characters of ...
I just wandered around for a while. I was roaming through the maze of hedges in the courtyard, when I heard voices. I peaked through a bush and saw mom and Uncle Claudius. ‘Come on baby. I know you want it,’ said Claudius. ‘Oh Claudius! You are so silly.
I have a family. I don’t need you.’s he replied as she walked away. ‘I’ll see you later baby! !’ he shouted. As I peered through the bush, someone jumped on top of me. It was Laertes. He scared me for a second, but then I just wrestled him off me.
We continued our game as if nothing ever happened. Whatever happened between mom and Claudius I forgot. Life carried on. Dad came and went here and there. Every now and the nI saw mom and Claudius speaking, or walking into some room. I never thought anything of it at the time though.
Now in retrospect, I realize mom had succumb to Claudius’s advances. She was weak but I forgive her. I wish dad was around. He always knew how to handle situations and save the day. I guess that’s why he was such a great king. Now his ghost is telling me to take care of business and set things in order.
I guess I am going to have to take out the garbage.
