Summary:
A young servant in the castle at Elsinore, where King Fortinbras reigns, I become fascinated with the tale of how a presumably mad young Prince Hamlet avenged his father's supposed murder at the hands of the man's own brother, Claudius.
Alone, impoverished and seeing the world as bleak and without beauty, I find the grave of the Dane and discover his claim to have seen a ghost very real as Hamlet's own ghost begins to mutely haunt me at the gravesite, with my own consent and approval.
However, as time wears on and my fellow servants at the castle begin to believe I have gone mad too, Hamlet at first leaves me and then returns with tragic consequences...
