Poor Hamlet. First his dad dies, and then his own mother has the nerve to have a second marriage to his dead father's brother? Does she have no heart, no remorse? Gertrude's a complete gold digging social climber and honestly all she cares about is her title. How could she do that to her late husband and her son? And then there's Claudius. Remember that big speech he gave as the new king? What a bunch of crap. I don't like this guy. He's just relishing his new role as king and his new-found power. He's divulging his presence. He's a horrible leader too, sending little letters to King Norway. Really? Where's the action? He's just so passive.....
This whole family tree is just wrong, and it's understandable why Hamlet is so depressed about this. People think he's just being emotional, but who wouldn't be? I mean, his own mother has run off with his uncle... talk about betrayal... and... incest... - well close enough. This is one messed up family. If this were a TV show it would get more views than the Game of Thrones, I promise.
Not to mention, shortly after the King's death, we encountered a ghost in front of the castle, who looked just like him. I told Hamlet about it, and later on he met with the ghost but he didn't tell us anything about their conversation. To be honest, after he met the ghost, I feel like Hamlet's going bonkers... I'm kind of scared. Not just for him, but even Claudius. Maybe the ghost is back to haunt...
I have a bad feeling about all this... Oh man, things are going to get interesting. Just like what Marcellus said, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." I can feel it.

Great job writing from the perspective of Hamlet. Your choice in diction was excellent! Well done!
