Hamlet

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” When Marcellus realized this, the corruption of Denmark was just beginning. From the time that Cladius murdered King Hamlet and took control of the throne, Denmark was changed forever. It may not have seemed different at a glimpse, but Denmark began to crumble that very day. The scheming and deceitful ways of Cladius led to suffering, corruption and eventually the downfall of Denmark. This can be seen …

…himself. And his lies caused the deaths of all the people close to him, friends or enemies. Ultimately, Cladius’ scheming caught up with him and led to not only his downfall, but also the downfall of Denmark. A lesson can be learned from Cladius and that is that lies and lack of moral good may pay off in the short term, but eventually “what goes around comes around” and it finally “came around” on Cladius.
