Hamlet in a nutshell

Description

So this is for a school project where we have to make a source book of a play that we read this semester.

I chose Hamlet. And this is what goes on in my mind as I read it. Well not really, but I thought this was funny.

In case you can't read my horrible handwriting.....and I'll explain what's going on. EXTREME CRACK AHEAD!

PANEL 1
Claudius: I'm now the king of Denmark. :iconiloveitmoreplz:
Gertrude: This is totally not incest. :icondeyedplz:

(okay Claudius was the brother of the king whom he murdered in order to get the throne, then he married his sister-in-law, Gertrude here)

PANEL 2
Hamlet: I miss my daddy. :iconcutecryplz:

(our main character, Prince of Denmark, has daddy issues)

PANEL 3
Ghost: AVENGE ME! :icondothisthingplz:
Hamlet: OK! :iconurhappyplz:

(The ghost of Hamlet's father, telling him to avenge his death)

PANEL 4
Ophelia: Hamlet, I love you! Let's get married and have 25 babies! :iconiloveyouplz:
Hamlet: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh............Okay? :icongetawayplz:

(Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and Hamlet's sort of girlfriend. She's not actually like this. I just did it to be funny)

PANEL 5 & 6
Hamlet: Are you alone? :iconsuspicious-plz:
Gertrude: Yes. :iconimtwitchingplz:

Polonius: *behind the curtain* ACHOO!

Gertrude::iconohdearplz:
Hamlet::iconverynotimpressedplz:

(Hamlet confronts his mother to see if she knew that her 1st husband was murdered or if she was totally naive about the whole thing. Polonius was behind the curtain the whole time and then Hamlet stabs him)

PANEL 7
Hamlet: I'm breaking up with you! :iconihateitplz:
Ophelia: NOOOOOOOOOOO! :iconsobplz:

(Hamlet doesn't trust Ophelia anymore and dumps her. She later commits suicide by drowning herself)

PANEL 8 & 9
Hamlet: Alas! Poor Yorick! :iconimyaranaikaplz:
Horatio: Do you know where that's been? :iconwutwutplz:

Hamlet: *drops skull* :iconohdearplz:
Horatio::icono-0plz:

(Hamlet and Horatio[Hamlet's best friend] are in a graveyard and Hamlet picks up the skull of court jester he used to know as a child)

PANEL 10
Laertes: I challenge you to a duel! :iconomgewplz:
Hamlet: I accept! :iconchallengeacceptedplz:

(Laertes wants revenge because Hamlet killed his father Polonius)

PANEL 11
Gertrude: Oh Sh*t! I've been poisoned! :iconidislikeitplz:

(Gertrude dies when she drank wine with poison in it)

PANEL 12
Hamlet: Wait a minute? Was your blade poisoned? :iconyoudidwhatplz:
Laetres: Yeah, so? :iconsouleyesplz:
Hamlet: That's against the rules, isn't it? :iconimfuriousplz:
Laetres: SCREW THE RULES, I WANT REVENGE! :iconfrageplz:

(Hamlet and Laetres have a fencing match, and Laetres's blade was poisoned which kills Hamlet. And yes I made a YuGiOh abridged reference)

PANEL 13
Horatio: Good night sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. :iconsadfaceplz:

(Hamlet dies[Angel Hamlet] and Horatio is sad :()

PANEL 14
Fortinbras: What the hell happened? :iconiwantitplz:
Horatio: Where do I start? :iconwthplz:

(Fortinbras is the Prince of Norway who came back after fighting with Poland, and Hamlet before he dies says to Horatio that he has his vote to be King of Denmark. You see the King is sort of elected by this Parliament thing. It's kind of hard to explain)

FIN

Well I hope you like this, and even got a laugh out of it, even if you don't like Shakespeare. Or even have read Hamlet.

But did you know that Disney's 'The Lion King" was based on Hamlet?

QUESTION! Should I do this for other Shakespeare plays. such as Romeo and Juliet? How about some musicals like Phantom of the Opera? Comment and let me know what you would like to see next.

Hamlet belongs to Shakespeare. :worship:
