The Life of A Prince

As the white version of the Prince of Bel Air, I find myself more qualified to comment on Hamlet then many others. Everyone in my English class has made good points throughout our discussion, but because none of them are princes or princesses, who are they to judge Hamlet and his actions?

Hence, I would like to take a minute to dispel several beliefs about Hamlet that I have encountered and believe are incorrect.

1. Hamlet wanted to die. Bullshit. No prince would ever want to die unless
a. he was about to married off to some hosey
b. his kingdom was going through a coup and he was losing power
c. he was about to be made king
d. someone was beating him in a war

otherwise, princes have totally sicknasty lives! I mean, just look at those two from england. It doesnt seem to me like they're too unhappy. I'm serious about the "about to be made king thing" too. that would really blow. all the functions, benefits, and responsibilities. Princes just get to party and screw around.

The only real perk of being king is that you're totally in charge, but then again, the only person who outranks a prince is the king. If i wasn't a prince, I'd probably still want to be nobility, like a knight. Ha, actually, every once in a while when i meet someone new Ill introduce myself as Sir Alexander beller, and they think i'm joking around.... which I am. But then I seriously tell them that my dad donated a bunch of money to some cause of the Crown like 20 years ago in england, and for that he was knighted, and so when he dies I actually will be Sir Alexander Beller. They key to getting people to believe is that I said my dad donated money (something simple and believable) opposed to saying he took a bullet for the king (or something ridiculous like that). Haha, that is one of my favorites.

Wow. off topic.

Hamlet.

Ok, I guess I just feel that hamlet should be cut a break. When someone is pretending to be crazy, OF COURSE they are going to lose touch with their feelings and actually become a bit crazy. Think of him as a method actor. OF Course he has to act crazy around ophelia, i mean, her dad is a snoop.

So i say, as a prince and one who can empathize much better then others with hamlet's position, CUT HIM A BREAK.
He's just a boy who's confused cause his uncle killed his daddy and married his mommy. In that position, I think anyone would be acting a little crazy, especially in the search for revenge.
