Hamlet Assignment #1

I am not one to believe in supernatural events or spirits. I consider myself to be stubbornly realistic. Though, events that I have been witnessing are toying around with what I believe. He rose out of the ground. My eyes refusing to accept what they were seeing. I was with my fellow guards Marcellus and Bernardo. What we all witnessed "sent shivers down my back" (1.l.57). It was he, the King of Denmark who appeared before us. I tried to speak with the King. I called out "speak!" (1.l.30). The spirit of the dead King did not respond to my request, only disappeared. I still like to think of that night as a dream. I do not know what to believe.
