A Hamlet (Final Assignment)

I'm a millionaire
Euro millionaire, true king of Denmark, but shhh y'all dont care
My criteria compared to your career just isn't fair
I make literary cheese, english classes I appease
Through the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind
Cause I don't write nothing, gotta drink that fancy wine
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the almighty ducat
You know H-H-Horatio is a cousin brother scholar
Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Uncle, no i wouldn't rather
See the phantom of my father on the gates, now i know he watching
Tell my poppa's... hahahaha gotta catch em, gotta stop em
I go by them Danish rules
Uncle steals it, then you pop em
You can't pop em, then you cop em
You can't cop em, then you drop em
You drop em cause we drop em like dude we playing soccer

H3, three peat...
They call me H3, but they ain't talking about the car
You know what it is
When they say H3 rocked Polo, that don't mean what you think it means

They say I'm writing like Will, Poe and Steinbeck
Year 1600 where is Chris Marlowe at
Who dat said they gonna beat Ham(let)? Shame!
Characters in Hamlet suck for rap, cause they have awkward names
Rich, Fortinbras will turn Denmark into a fountain
Dare me
Don't you compare me cause there ain't nobody near me
They don't see but they hear me
They don't feel me but they fear me
I'm illi

File Document Avt IV

File Document Assignment Act IV

Claudius: And so it shall be done. Laertes will murder Hamlet by means of a duel, and if all fails, Hamlet shall be poisoned.

Adviser: But sire, surely the life of the true king of the Danes need not be thrown away?

Claudius: I too am displeased with the drastic action I must take, but my ascendancy will not be hampered! Hamlet sealed his fate when he humiliated me for all of Denmark to see during the playing of the Mousetrap.

Adviser: The hurting of one’s feelings is hardly a reason to murder royalty!

Claudius: Are you so blind you cannot see through such a simple ploy? Hamlet has vividly proven that he knows I am responsible for the murder of his father! He cannot be trusted with this kind of information.

Adviser: And what of the Queen, his mother. Is she to discarded for the sake of your ascendancy?

Claudius: Alas, poor Gertrude, unwittingly a pawn in my own game, oh how it pains me to know that she shall be deprived of her last relative. But I could never kill Gertrude, as she is my love.

Adviser: So you shall be the one to put her through the collapse of her family?

Claudius: Sadly yes, but in final judgment, this will be my smallest infringement.

Adviser: Surely you could silence Hamlet with bribery?

Claudius: Perhaps, but I fear my tampering has been too great, his feelings, too strong.

Adviser: Then there must be no other way; Hamlet will die by the sword.

Claudius: And so it shall be done. Laertes will fell Hamlet by the end of the month.

File Document Act III


The Great Dane

POLONIUS: STRANGE, PRATTLING MAN,

NOW DEAD, LEAVING BEHIND TWO CHILDREN.

Polonius, longtime friend of great king Claudius, and father of Laertes and Ophelia, was pronounced dead this past weekend, after being found murdered in the home of King Claudius.

Polonius is survived by his two children, Laertes and Ophelia, who say that Polonius will be remembered and is missed greatly. Polonius will perhaps best be remembered for roaming the halls of the castle, muttering to himself, listening in on the conversations of strangers, and for loud, senile outbursts of emotion. Although his actions were disconcerting, his words will live on with the people of Denmark. “To thine own self be true” he most famously spoke, an important lesson that Polonius imparted on his family and friends.

Polonius’s body was found in a heap, bleeding from multiple stab wounds. The murderer is still at large but it is believed that he is close to the royal family

The tides of fortune in Denmark are changing. From great turmoil comes shining futures. The death of the Danish aristocracy through blood feud signals the coming glory of Fortinbras and his armies. He shall restore Denmark to the previous glory of days of old. The burying of Hamlet and the cursed and incestuous monarchy of Gertrude and Claudius signifies the burying of an era of great depression and horror, where nothing was accomplished and all was debated. An era where subterfuge, assassinations, and loose morals ruled above civilized behavior and righteousness, but now the righteous have full control over all of the true civilized world. The senile Polonius and psychopathic Ophelia now no longer have great pull over the problems of the repressed. It is always darkest before the light, and the luminosity of the torch of the liberator Fortinbras shall lead the Danes into unprecedented abundance and strength. Where once the squabbling and disagreements of the corrupt children of old kings was a driving force behind political movements, there is now a one true leader, emerging from the filth and hellish darkness. The deeds and battles of the damned’s fathers set into action the twisted downfall of the cursed people, so now finally they have paid for his sins. A golden child birthed from the grotesque landscape will shape the world with his vision. The child birthed from battle will lead Denmark to peace and prosperity.
