The New King!

Things have turned contrary to how I would have thought in the throne. The new king has turned out to be Claudius, the brother of the king. Even more suprisingly, Gertrude, the widowed queen of the late Hamlet is now arranged to be wedded to King Claudius! This drastic change in the state has evidently affected the Lord Hamlet. I say evidently with the evidence of his plaintive face that I have seen yesterday. I can not imagine how hard this blow of death and - with all respect to the king and queen - incestuous, hasty marriage is hurting Hamlet; he must be in the most disconsolate state of hell that I've ever seen shroud a man.
