0 Hello, here is something I wrote for my Shakespeare studies. How is the grammar on this? Could anyone read over it and give me some feedback? Thanks!02br 02br 01i01b00What would you do?02b02i02br 02br 01i02i02br 02br 01i00I believe that the ghost that has appeared before me truly is my father’s spirit, and that everything it has said is true.00 00The ghost did not flee before Horatio’s “cross,” and it shows Christian forbearance towards my “common” mother. Thus, I have no choice but to believe that this spirit truly is my father’s and not a devil trying to imitate him. I have little choice, then: I must avenge his spirit, and kill my uncle, Claudius!00 00My father’s spirit calls to me, and I 02i00must avenge his foul murder! 02br 02br 01i00This is not a selfish act of revenge, but an act of justice. Claudius is a tyrant: he killed a king, and worse, he killed his own brother, all to satisfy his own private ambitions.00 00He is guilty of a sacrilegious attack upon the hierarchy and order instituted by natural law; by killing00 00my father, Claudius destroyed this natural order, and it is my responsibility to right this wrong! 02i02br 02br 01i00The killing of my uncle must be done quickly, and discretely. Claudius is no fool, and I am certain that the blood upon his hands will cause him to become paranoid; he will00 00undoubtedly reach a stage where he deems it necessary to eliminate all threats in order to secure his power and I am certain that I would be his first target. So I must act first! I cannot poison my uncle or assassinate him in public. Such acts are too cowardly and too dangerous; a public murder could result in me being tried for treason. 02i02br 02br 01i00The most discrete and most practical method of killing my uncle would be to stab him as he is sleeping with my “incestuous” mother. Being the prince means I can walk around the castle freely and carry my sword without arousing suspicion. At night, I could simply slip in, cover Claudius’ mouth to suppress his screams, and stab at his heart! Then, I can wake my mother and explain to her the reason for the assassination. This would fully comply with my father’s wishes, as not only would my uncle be dead, but my mother would not be harmed directly. All would soon be well. 02i02br 02br 01i00 00The next day, I will deal with the court and the public. The latter would be easy to deal with, as I am loved by the people, and they will quickly accept me over Claudius.00 00Further, the common people would not dare interfere in the affairs of kings; they will not make too much commotion, I am sure. The court, however, will be harder to convince and silence. Questions will be asked, and I will have to answer. Nevermind! I am the heir to the throne and the court could not, in reality, do anything. I could silence any who oppose my power; I am, after all, the rightful Prince of Denmark! I will soon be elected king and rule over my people justly; just as my father did, and just as he expects me to do. 02i02br 02br 01i02i0-
