For You, Father

by Amratin

This story shows Hamlet in present days. You definitely know the characters and the plot. But there will be smaller or bigger changes. This version will be shorter and not so deep in thoughts.

14. Act IV Scene V

SCENE V

Enter Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude and Claudius.

Claudius: What brings you here, my friend?

Polonius: Your son. You should keep an eye on him, my friend.

Gertrude: What is he accused from? Hamlet is doing his best. I think he will be relatively normal soon.

Polonius: What is he accused from? Look at my daughter.

Ophelia: Dad, no.

Polonius: You can´t pretend that nothing happened.

Claudius: Speak clearly, Polonius.

Polonius: This son of yours knocked up my daughter and after that he left her.

Gertrude: That´s not Hamlet´s behavior.

Polonius: Just look at her.

Claudius: Why have you come to us now?

Gertrude: Is it true?

Ophelia: Yes, but it´s happened different way than my father said.

Claudius: What do you want from me?

Polonius: What should be right in this situation.

Gertrude: Oh child, come to me. How are you feeling?

Ophelia: Strange.

Gertrude: Don´t be afraid. Everything will be explained. I am going to talk to Hamlet. He loves you very much and he will like the idea of marrying you, I am sure.

Ophelia: I don´t want to marry him.

Claudius: There is nothing more to talk about then.

Exit Claudius.

Gertrude: Still, I would like to see you some times. Think about what we talked before. You know, you and Hamlet.

Exeunt Gertrude and Ophelia.
