Summary
"Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die" -unknown
Nobody else could see the poison that Claudius spread over everything he touched. He had managed to turn Hamlet’s mother to his side, and all of her friends, and all of Hamlet’s friends. Now he was trying to get Hamlet. But Hamlet's father had told him all about the poison. Hamlet wouldn't fall to Claudius's otherworldly charm. He would set the world to rights again.
