Hamlet; the Noir Adaption 2023 Act 5 Scene 2 Sub Scene 7 (Finale)

 Act Six

Epilogue

Horatio stood before the graves of the young lord, the madam, and Claudius. They were buried next to the old King. The gravediggers did a good task, the son was with the father, and the two lovers were to one side.

“Hamlet, my lord.” Horatio addressed the young one. “Your death was unforeseen but events had taken their route and I was unable to stop the trail. Much had we spent together when younger but you grew fast without me. Your father had me to see over you, but there was little I could do without you at my side. A fledging had to fly on its day, and you did. I had my friends watch you; your antics were made known to me.”

“You have your desire, not all I will have sanction but as no further harm was to you, I was ever grateful. Doctor Freud, secured by myself, paid by the King had given you some good medications to subvert your ailments. Did you take your medication regularly was also monitored by my thorough aides, who fed the medicine into your meal. I am unsure. To know you required more than observation, I need to be with you. You have camouflaged yourself with the roles on the stage. When are you, or when acting? It took years to know, and for me, it was from a distance until you returned home.”

“That was one other reason father sent you off at a tender age; you need not see the adulterous ways of your mother. She was a …at best of times, a good mother but she had desires that were not favorable. In contrast to Ophelia, she held no virtues. It may hurt you to know this, or you may have kept it hidden. I would have stopped her from death if only I knew.”

“I do not know if you sanction my ascension to be the King, but it was an opportunity I could not resist. A General can only serve until the rank above is open.” Horatio sighed. “I took the insignia from your pocket when you were asleep.”

“Madam, I stand before thee to say I am pleased that you involve me in your schemes. Your call to Claudius to return and the coincidence when you poisoned the King, were remarkable. He had stepped in to see the King soon after you exited, and all blame was on him. Then you called Hamlet back to be at your side, but unknown to you, I had poisoned Hamlet’s mind.”

“It was easy with my learning of filming with the projector. I needed an audience and found them in the servants. I needed a screen, and the walls were perfect. The rest was mine, with a hidden sound device. I had the servants convinced of the ghost; they have not seen a moving picture as yet. Then the lies toward Hamlet, with your naïve lover, all it needed was to create a motive,”

“It was easy with the hidden peek holes; much you could see when others should not see.” Horatio smiled and added in the secret. “Ophelia was beautiful. I will find one like her myself.”

“My King, you were a good King, ruthless but a good leader. I have my respect for you and on seeing the act on you, I had vouch revenge but to come from me was like a minion in the war. I found my use with Gertrude; yes, my King, we were lovers at some time, and with her action, I created mine. In time, I placed all the puzzle parts together but the bigger picture was set by all of your loved ones. I was merely adding in the parts to complete the picture.”

“Claudius, you were the fool here. You were the plaything of Gertrude, the minion to the King, the scorn of young Hamlet, yet you tried to be the…Emperor. You shied from being called the King because you never could be. Unfortunately, you were made the bait, but when you turned to bite then, I was stunned. When you sued Laertes, I had a difficult time planning but you place everything in my favor. It was myself who gave Laertes the poison through Reynaldo. And yours was given by me to Osric unknowingly. He rushed off when he saw you dying, bringing in the others.”

“I was prepared to defend my position, and thus I did. I told Osric’s friends off. They were outnumbered and outgunned. As for Osric, he lies with Polonius in the same hole. An ambitious man but raw to the act.”

“My King, Madam, and young lord, I bid you farewell. Norway awaits me.”

He left an epitaph on Hamlet’s tombstone.

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players.”
