1690 Elsinore Castle

Elsinore, Denmark

1596

Dear Laertes,


I was informed from thy mother that we are going to have a sword fight. It may not sound so bad, but it is a fight to the death! I know we are both good sword fighters, but you and I both know who will win. The fight is in two days at our castle, in the great hall. Invite whomever you want, but it has to be less than fifty people.


I can’t wait till the fight; it will be such a joy. I have improved in sword fighting, and now I am only getting better. Horatio and I have been practicing for weeks and that has made me much better. I can’t wait to see your face when I kill you. I will regret killing you but I wasn’t the one who made the plan. Till Thursday good bye.


With much respect,

Hamlet

P.S. I would start practicing s soon as possible! P.H.

    Yes, a fight to the death does sound very intriguing... And there were many deaths indeed. I know that you had fun killing everybody, Hamlet.
