Dear journal,

Oh **fie!** My once beloved brother Claudius hath **slain** me! He who I trusted so well hath poisoned my goblet and ended my life! Then, that vile snake Claudius hath married my beloved Queen Gertrude! oh, how I detest my deceiving brother! My soul cannot be at peace until I see to it that Claudius suffers for his horrible crimes against me and my family.

I am now a vindictive spirit; hence I will seek revenge on my deceitful brother Claudius through my brave son, Hamlet. I called upon him on the night that hath just passed to tell him the cause of my untimely death, and that he must avenge my distraught spirit by slaying the villain Claudius. I know that Claudius is Hamlet’s uncle, and it be a testy situation, but Claudius hath betrayed and murdered Hamlet’s own father! My beloved son Hamlet **must** avenge my death. If the traitor Claudius is killed, perhaps my spirit may rest in peace at last.

Thou art a cunning villain, Claudius! I **shall** have my revenge!

~ The King
