Blog #14

Having a player at my disposal is one of the things I like about being a prince. He is very loyal and is extremely talented in displaying emotions. "Prithee, say on." (2.2.435) I cheer for encores. However, I think it would be better if the player acted out the Gladiator movie. I don't think my uncle is smart enough to get the message I am trying to send through the Trojan war skit. In the Gladiator movie, a  general's family is slaughtered by the orders of his king. It's kinda like how my uncle betrayed my father and I. Also there is a "mobled queen." (2.2.439) who proves to be more useful than my mother. Ohh.. my mother, I will deal with her later. What I really enjoy in this movie is the way this general "Aroused vengeance sets him new a-work."(2.2.424). Just like me, he plays the kings game of being a pawn in the Colosseum, in my case I just act crazy all the time instead of fighting. The main idea behind this is that the general beats the king at his own game. Hopefully my dimwitted uncle will see through this play "Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." (2.2.535).

Everything is in chaos now. I don't know who to trust after I found out that I'm being watched. When Guildenstern and Rosencrantz said " My lord, we were sent for." (2.2.269) I knew something was wrong. I need to keep an eye on everyone, especially Polonius. I have been harassing him about Ophelia every time we talk. I will continue with this messed up behavior to keep anyone from realizing my true intentions towards the king.
