ACT II Scene 1 After the play, a chapel in the castle. Enter the king King: Oh what I have seen before my eyes, Has scarred me to my very soul. I thought I could live with guilt, but it has destroyed me, and every time I look at myself in the mirror, evil reflexes through it. Enters the Queen Queen: (to herself) Oh my! I should go. King: Cursed be I for what I have done. The Queen decides to stay and hides behind drapes. King: I have killed my own flesh, my own blood, my own half, my own brother. What is the point of asking forgiveness, if I am still guilty, by enjoying the results of my sin? I did what I did because of Gertrude, because of my love for her. Since the moment I’ve laid my eyes on her at my brothers wedding, I’ve promised myself, I’d have her. I killed him, and I still can see blood on my hands, even if none was spilled. I am not trying to get out of anything, because I’ve done what I have done, and I am only one to blame. Be cursed the day, I met you witch; you’ve made me a sinner. Why did I have to take that potion? She does not really love me, ‘tis the potion talking.
