Act 1. Scene 5. Page 23-26

Dear Diary, I am completely confused on what I should believe today. I do not know if the ghost of my father’s spirit had good intentions or bad. He told me that my uncle King Claudius poisoned my own father. He killed my father and then married my mother with no bad feelings. I must find out if this is true. I have been pondering this subject for some time now and I am concocting a plan as I write. Right now I am going to be acting crazy in front of everyone that I see. I think this will throw them off and they won’t think that I know anything about the murder. On the other hand, this could be a totally made up story to try and trick me into killing my own uncle. I couldn’t tell if the ghost was really the ghost of my father of just a demon from Hell trying to trick me. I know that I must find out what really happened to my father. I will have to come up with some kind of plan to prove to myself that Claudius actually did poison my father. Also today after the ghost disappeared Horatio and Marcellus came to see what was going on. I don’t know if I made the right decision in telling them what I had seen and heard. They now know all that I know and I’m not sure if they can be trusted. I had them swear upon my sword, so if they say a word to anyone about what I am planning I will have no hesitation in killing them. This is one of the hardest days that I have ever been faced with. I can see that my uncle is a villain of a man, but I still can’t prove his guilt. I am very frustrated in this matter. All I know is something has to be done for my father’s sake. I will have revenge on his soul. Hamlet In //Hamlet// we found out that King Claudius has poisoned and killed King Hamlet. Now King Claudius is married to Queen Gertrude, King Hamlet’s old wife and Hamlets mother. Hamlet was told this information from an apparition of his father at the castle. Hamlet has vowed to take revenge for his father. Hamlet has decided that he will pretend to act crazy so they won’t suspect anything. At the moment, everyone he knows believes him to be crazy. His girlfriend Ophelia thinks that he is crazy with love for her, and so does her father Polonius. Polonius informs the King and Queen about Hamlet’s weird behavior. They want to know what is going on so they send Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to check up on Hamlet. Hamlet is very good friends with them and knows that they are acting strange around him, so he knows that King Claudius and Queen Gertrude sent them to look out for him.
