Horatio

I would like to write my blog posts from the perspective of Horatio. Horatio is Hamlet's loyal side-kick, the one entrusted to keep Hamlet's deepest thoughts a secret. He accompanies his master through their adventures, and maintains a level head with all of them. Since Horatio has been through the same things as Hamlet, the main character, I think it would be interesting to write from a different perspective. Hamlet himself describes his loyal friend as more 'virtuous' and 'self-controlled' than he is (Mabillard), so Horatio must have different opinions than his master. I also find it interesting that Horatio has no desire to overthrow his master; in fact, he would go so far as to sacrifice his life for Hamlet. He has all of Hamlet's darkest secrets in tote, yet does not judge, which is why writing from Horatio's point of view will be enjoyable.
