Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 2, Part 1

Synopsis: King Claudius gives a speech to the Danish court regarding the death of his brother, the late King Hamlet, and his own marriage to Hamlet's widow, Queen Gertrude. As he talks to various members of the court, they receive him well, until he addresses Prince Hamlet, son of the late king. Still mourning his father's death, Prince Hamlet cannot pretend to be happy, and as the court disbands, he begins to meditate on his discontent.

Special thanks to Claudio Meneses for one of the paintings.

The first song is "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller. The second song is Paganini's "Caprice No. 24."

Remark: Notice Claudius' callousness in his line, 'But you must know, your father lost a father,' since that father is in fact his own father.

@y2khahaha I suppose it's not perfect =) Maybe someday I'll tweak it to make it less noticeable. Some of the other "cartoons" in my "series" have better sound.
