His father was dead, his uncle the killer of his father dead, his mother who married his uncle after his father death was also dead, his father in law dead, his brother in law dead, the woman he loves dead drowned and he was also dead. He was now somewhere between heaven and purgatory asking to himself why this tragedy happened. He was Hamlet. As he was walking up and down he saw a girl and thinking she was Ophelia, the love of his life, he started to call her
"Ophelia, My dear and sweet Ophelia!" Nobody answers so he called her again
A voice finally answered him : "I'm sorry, I'm not Ophelia, I'm Antigone. "
"Oh sorry, I'm.."
"I know who you are, you are Hamlet, the heir of the throne of Denmark, everybody knows your story, everybody knows about your life, about your family. "
"Oh I see, didn't know I was so famous, and you said you were?"
"Antigone, and my life is also a tragedy that takes place in Greece. I fought the laws of the king and I have also lost the man I love, the king's son."
"What happened to you?"
"To know my story you must know first the story of my parents, My father marry his own mother and killed his own father. He had 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. My two brothers fight for the throne till one killed the other and as he was considered a traitor to the kingdom he didn't receive a sepulture. His name was Polinice. He was left to the dogs and vultures outside of the city"
"Oh I'm sorry"
"Not as sorry as me. As I think he deserved a decent tomb, I decided to burried his body. And that was the beggining of my problems with my father in law. He decided to sentence me to death, to be burried alive but I didn't want him to win and I decided I prefered to die hanging myself. And Hemon, the man I love, his son, died too next to me. So as you can see my dear friend our life is a tragedy and everything turns in a way or in another towards the king."
"Oh the King ! The king was the most wonderful and kind man I knew, he was my father, the greatest king Denmark ever had. And now he is dead. Denmark has became for me a prison after his death, people thought I was mad, I make them believe I was, and look, here I am, completely lost and with nowhere to go, my body is rotten but my soul is crying like my heart. I wish I could found Ophelia, tell her I love her so much and I would like to see my father too"
"And your mother?"
"I can't, I might forgive her one day, but not now, it's too hard for me to do it, she married the man who killed my father, her husband. She betrayed her husband, her country, her son. Will you forgive the king against who you fought?"
"No, I couldn't! He also killed all the people I loved and destroyed my familly and also destroyed his own familly. His son and his wife"
"So you understand that I can't forgive my mother after what she's done to me"
"Yes I understand. Sorry to ask, please forgive me to interfere in your life"
"My life is over, I'm dead so what can I do?"
"Here you aren't dead, you're alive. Search Ophelia, find her and tell her how much you love her " said Antigone vanishing in front of him.
Hamlet stayed alone in the middle of nowhere with one idea in mind, find Ophelia.
