site of a powerful fortress, a military prison and
a federal prison. The island is surrounded by
treacherous cross currents and five-knot tides

Shakespeare's Hamlet, there is some there. The

guards are changing, so is the royal throne. The

symbolizes the trouble that happens once the kings

Hamlet sees the ghost. To hear what the ghost has
to say, Hamlet must fo...
