(a ghost wanders the stage)
This place is Elsinore, a castle in Denmark.
“Look where it comes again”
The King, Hamlet’s Father, is dead.
“In the same figure like the King that’s dead”
The New King, Hamlet’s Uncle, has married Hamlet’s Mother, much to Hamlet’s
displeasure.
(Caw,Caw)
“It was about to speak when the cock crew”
“Tis here.
“Tis here.
‘Tis gone.
“Tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed: things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely.”
