"There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all." (Act.5 Sc.2 Ln.233-237)
- As to much surprise, I am finally starting to figure out what my purpose is and what I must do. Ophelia is gone now, everyone now knows that what I felt for her was all sincere, it is too late to keep hiding beneath the shadows! I cannot decline Laertes' request no matter how much my instincts tell me that it isn't a good idea. For no man can escape his fate, God has every ones lives planned out already for them, now I make whatever life I have left honorable. For the first time since the death of my father, I feel the need to stand up against Claudius. I guess you can infer that I am discovering a sense of identity and gaining the courage to overcome my contemplations. Even if it means death for me, I know that i won't die in vain for this is all due to the love I have for my father.

Act.4 Quote
"To hide the slain? O, from this time forth My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!" (Act.4 Sc.4 Ln.68-69)
- I can no longer bear to sit around and contemplate on what I will do to get my revenge anymore! Sadly, I have been hiding behind the shadow of my delay but after witnessing the strength and will that Fortinbras possesses, I aspire to be the same. Him being such a tender and delicate person and leading an army full of passion only diminishes my character even more. To think that these men are marching to their deaths beds for a mere noble cause and I who have a murdered father cannot do the same? I should've killed Claudius when I had the chance while he was praying, but as usual I let my thoughts get in the way of my actions. Thanks to Fortinbras and his army I have finally found the flame of revenge that burns inside me and it will not be put out until justice is served. I pledge in my father's name that blood will be spilled because it is the only way to end my uncle's tyranny.

Act.3 Quote
" Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action." (Act.3 Sc.1 Ln.85-90)
- For too long I have pushed back this matter of putting an end to Claudius' life, ending my misery, and restoring honor to my father's name. After watching my uncle not being able to withstand his own guilt while watching the play, I have come to the conclusion that my father's ghost speaks nothing but the truth. But yet I cannot quite grasp the initiative and courage to pursue my revenge due to the fact that, what if i die? I don't have the slightest ideal about what death is like and what comes after it. I know I shouldn't be over thinking this matter so much when it comes to pursuing the killer of your own father, I know the answer is right in front of me, kill Claudius. Unfortunately, the weight that this matter puts on my conscience is the only obstacle between me and actually taking action. I no longer feel nothing but disgust and shame for myself because I have every motive to commit these actions but no desire or will to pursue them.

Act.2 Quote
"Yet I, A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, And can say nothing—no, not for a king, Upon whose property and most dearlife A damned defeat was made." (Act.2 Sc.2 Ln.593-598)
-There isn't any words to describe the resentment and shame i feel towards myself, my fear has prohibited me from realizing that my own father has been murdered. It makes me nothing more than a coward to weep all day over my father's death and not take any action against my uncle. For i have seen my father's ghost and he has given me all the reason and proof I need to take vengeance but yet why have I not done anything to fix this matter? The time has come to focus on devising a plan to catch Claudius in his guilt! I have recently discovered that the players will be coming to visit, I will ask them to recite a play about a brother's greed driving him to kill his own brother for the crown and this is bound to drown Claudius in his own guilt. For if he shows any signs of a stained conscience it will only reassure me that he is responsible for ending my father's life and putting me through this misery of mine.

Act. 1 Quote
"Or that the Everlasting had not fixed His canon 'gainst (self-sluaghter!) O God, God, How (weary,) stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!" (Act.1 Sc.2 Ln.135-138)
-I cannot bear to see the image of my father being erased as if he never existed. It has only been a short two months and my mother has already betrayed my father's love by marrying and sleeping with my uncle Claudius, which just sickens me. I find it such a shame that due to my duties as a believer in God i cannot take my own life, for if it was not outlawed i would do it this instant because now that my father is gone i see no use to this world. Moreover, what troubles me even more is that Claudius cannot compare to my father and the fact that his way of consoling me by telling me, " your father lost a father, That father lost, lost his ", just builds my resentment towards him and everyone else because no one seems to understand the pain I am going through. Nevertheless, my black clothes, my tears, nor any other signs of grief can really express what i feel.
