"I doubt some foul play" (1.2.254).
No, it is more than just a suspicion. I know that my father was murdered...and by the two people who should be the closest to him! Oh, what an adulterer my mother is, "the funeral bak'd meats" could "furnish forth the marriage tables" for crying out loud (1.2.180-181). It took less time for her to fall for my savage uncle than it did for her to mourn the death of her beloved. She was so hasty that before "the salt of most unrighteous tears / Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, / She married" (1.2.154-156). No time to mourn when you are busy covering up a murder, I guess. What a filthy wretch.
I know they did it. I witnessed the ghost of my deceased father today, and he recounted the event to me. I just cannot get over the shallow, incestuous nature of my mother! She helped Claudius plan it, I'm sure of it. How dare my own mother tell me that "all lives must die", for no lives should die at the hand of their own brother (1.2.72). And Claudius! If my mourning is "unmanly" then what be of his cowardly disposition (1.2.94)? Murdering the very man sent by God to rule, if anyone is unmanly it is certainly him.
