Sithum



Sithum Liyanage The Queen and King summoned Guildenstern and Rosencrantz in order to spy on Hamlet to figure out what is wrong with him. Polonius arrives announcing that Voltimand and Cornelius have returned and Cornelius explains about Fortinbras’ plans. The Norwegian king was very happy that Fortinbras would not and ordered him to attack the Poles instead with his army. Claudius announces that Fortinbras’ army should be left alone and be allowed to pass through Denmark as they are not waging war on us. Afterwards Polonius tells the King and Queen that Hamlet is madly in love with Ophelia and shows them the love poems. Later Polonius announces that the players have arrived and Hamlet orders one of them to talk about the fall of Troy and the death of the Trojan King. Hamlet was pleased and announced that they will be hearing //The Murder of Gonzago// the next night.

Dear Diary, Hamlet had been acting very strangely today. He seems very odd to everybody in the kingdom and it is a scary thought. Everyone seems to think that he has gone crazy and I think I am beginning to think that as well. I spoke to my father about a matter that had occurred today. Hamlet had accosted me in his oddly manner. He had grabbed me by the arm hard and had shaken it up and down. He seemed to be so crazy and as if his mind was somewhere else. Everyone believes that Hamlet has gone crazy but my father says he is only lovesick. My father believes this and is willing to go see the King and Queen about this matter. I told my father that I did as he said and denied all his letters and didn’t allow him to see me. He told me that Hamlet was mad at that and that’s why he is acting this way. I don’t know what to think. My father, Polonius, is going to see the King and explain to him of this matter. I hope that Hamlet feels better soon because I am getting worried.
