Adventure 2 "Hamlet"

Adventure 2: "Hamlet"

Hamlet

 (This Blog is meant to be read in a British accent)

While Watson and I sat reading the daily paper there was a knock at the door. It was Sara the time traveling Journalist from Ms. Sasser’s English class. Sara along with her colleges was headed to Denmark in the late 15^th century to Elsinore Castle, the home of King Hamlet. She asked for us to accompany her and her team so that we could investigate the cloud of mystery surrounding the case that had been made oh so popular in English literature.  After pondering briefly I decided to take the case as my newest Adventure.

We travailed to Denmark in the year of 1589 A.D. where we were to find Sara’s friend William who had traveled in time a few days before us to scout ahead and gather intelligence from the locals before we arrived. We took very few luxuries from home with us on our trip seeing that I planned to have the case solved within two or three days. Oh how I was wrong, we ended up spending a total of six days in that reached place. I now see where the term “Mid-Evil” was coined, for that place was the essence of evil. We knew from reading the scripts of Hamlet the overall sequence of events. Hamlet had seen his fathers “ghost” and was out to seek revenge on his killer witch he believed was Claudius, his uncle.  My thoughts were to follow the actions of Fortinbras along with the two ambassadors from England at the end of the play. I hope to prove my theory of how Fortinbras was behind it all in a massive plot to seize the thrown of Hamlets homeland, Denmark.

I asked Watson to go with William to the province where Olivia was sent so that he could investigate her death while I spent time at the dulling ground where Hamlet and Laertes, Olivia’s brother, fought. After five days Watson returned with William where they had come to the conclusion that Olivia was forced into the river where she drowned. Knowing that she could not swim her trusted bodyguards, which also happened to be some of Fortinbras’ troops forced her to wash clothes in a deep river. This was concurrent with eye witness reports and trace evidence that was still at the scene.

After only the first day I had rounded up the locals and interviewed them and they only confirmed my theory. They said that the Ambassadors had actually been in the village for some time as if they were waiting for some big event. Well as one could guess making my theory stick, as if there was the World Court that charges could be brought. And to add to the case I caught up with Fortinbras himself, I found it intriguing that the resembled the late Hamlet the 1^st in both height and weight. Also I found in his personal possession white facial powder. I thought why would one have such powder? Then using deductive reasoning that it was him, Fortinbras that dressed as the late King Hamlet Ghost and appeared to the young Hamlet.  

But as I said what could one do in such times. How could this tretrious plot to overthrow this faction.
