Inspiration
Loyal followers of King Claudius
King Hamlet's descruction dispirited the people
Vigilance was constant
The people rejoice as the regime changes
Many lost their lives
King Claudius greets his people
Stifled nationalism explodes in joy
Some skeptics must be constrained
Holding up the walls
Cold and desolate
King Hamlet lies in state
Guarding the body
Lining up to see the body
Questionable preservation
Paying homage
Hail the new king
Courtyard
Mines to protect the castle
King's bodyguards
Casualties
Casualties
Destroying vestiges of tyranny
Papers fly
Coronation festivities
Coronationa festivities
The masses
coronation Ball
Coronation Ball
The original Hamlet Castle
The bad old days
Building resentment
Snowy chorus
It's very cold
Memorial bust
Hamlet -- enigmatic, troubled
Love your 'do
