Sworn to Vengeance

"I find thee apt;
And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,
Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear:
'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark
Is by a forged process of my death
Rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth,
The serpent that did sting thy father's life
Now wears his crown"(Act 1, Scene V).

You would not believe what I heard and saw today. My best friend Horatio told me that he had seen my father's ghost. I obviously had to see for myself, so I went with him to the night watch on top of the castle. Sure enough, the ghost appeared, and not only that, the ghost wanted to talk to me! I had to hear what my father had to tell me, so I went with him. Man, the things he told me. He said he had been murdered and not only that, he said it was my uncle!! I can't believe that my uncle killed my father! I've sworn revenge, and I guess that's what I'm going to have to do.
