Appendix E

    I Am HAMLET
    I am dutiful and disturbed
    I wonder if my uncle, Claudius, really did kill my father
    I hear myself think
    I see my father's ghost
    I want revenge in the name of him
    I am dutiful and disturbed
    I pretend to be mad
    I feel disgusted by my mother's incestuous actions
    I touch upon the truth much to my uncle's dismay
    I worry that I may be making the wrong decision
    I cry because my whole family has fallen apart
    I am dutiful and disturbed
    I understand NOW that he did kill my father
    I say revenge is just
    I dream that I will right the wrongs that have occurred
    I try to do something right
    I hope that what I do is forgivable
    I am dutiful and disturbed
