It seems that, after his death, my father has been rapidly replaced. My mother has forgotten him in only two months! But the worst is yet to come: that man is my uncle Claudius.

I suspect that he is my father’s murderer…

He is a very ambitious man, and he has tried several times to get rid of me: he urged me to take a rest in England with a letter to the King. Immediately curiosity took possession of me; I read what was written in the letter: it was an order to execute the bearer of the document.

I saved myself by having my friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern executed in my place. I mean, I had to! I had no choice!

Now, I want to discover why. Why would a man kill his own nephew? Besides, the news of my father’s death doesn’t seem to have caused any sadness in my uncle’s heart.

I reckon that my mother isn’t a stranger in this affair.

I really need to talk to her, but she is so evasive. Lately she doesn’t take care of me. Tonight I will ask her explanations. I hope that everything goes well and above all that my suspects are not valid. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.
