Dear Hamlet,
Have you ever thought about how people view your maturity? Do you ever wonder about what they think when you act too old or young for your age? There's a simple answer to that question! No one can actually tell you if you're being too mature or not, because everyone's maturity is different some days. However, if you are still trying to figure out how to keep your maturity steady, understanding right from wrong is a good thing. Knowing when to be serious is a great thing as well. But, the most important thing for you to know is how to handle a situation. After remembering these three concepts, you, Sir Hamlet should know that no matter what you try, your maturity would vary no matter how you act, talk or breathe. Without giving too much away, you should read this letter thoroughly sir. |

| "To be or not to be?" that was the question after I read your soliloquy. After seeing how you are taking in the consequences of avenging your father's death or keeping quiet about everything that had happened, it may have helped the reader realize that you are not being troubled with maturity issues after all. But once the reader has gotten further into the reading, they are bound to realize that your maturity level increases and decreases, sort of like the speed on a roller coaster. That could be a good thing for you, my dear Hamlet, but then again it could work against you like most of the dilemmas in your life. You, sir need to realize that your choices made so far are horrible, and very wrong. You are 30 years old and have decided that pretending to be crazy will help you get closer to avenging your father's death. When will you ever think right? Make a better choice, sort of like you did when you put on the play reenacting your fathers death. That really showed King Claudius that you could put your skills to use and that you can be a man without using weapons or poison. If another were telling you of this concept, they would disagree because they would say you weren't being manly. They would say that you were stooping to a level lower than the king because you didn't do anything besides scare Claudius, they probably also would have said that you should have confronted him, or had him play the part of your father and poison him right on stage. Don't let that distract you from the other two concepts my dearest Hamlet because you'll have another chance to show your maturity, I am sure. |

| Furthermore, knowing when to be serious is necessary because you would then be given a little bit more credit than you are being given now. I get that you try and be funny sometimes when you are around friends, but funny doesn't always get you to where you need to be. Your maturity level decreased extremely when you decided to keep playing around with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern after you found that they were just being sent to spy on you. I believe that after you found that out you should have just stopped your crazy act right then. You were being childish at that moment and acted your age, because in the end, your silliness killed them when you re-wrote that letter you were sending to England. that wasn't the only time you decided to play a joke on someone though, you decided to disrespect an elder by calling them a fishmonger. And it just so happened that the elder you disrespected was Polonius. Isn't that Ophelia's father? You have now given him a reason to really tell Ophelia to avoid you. I say that you should be ashamed of yourself and stop doing what you are doing. But instead of doing that, you continued to act out which cause people have concerns about the health of your brain and whether or not you were mad because Ophelia was ignoring your letters. If someone else were writing this letter to you and he or she were thus far, their opinion would differ because they would state that you weren't being immature, you were just being funny. Which brings me to knowing how to handle your situations my dearest Hamlet. |

| Moving on to our third concept, my dearest Hamlet, we must be up to date with knowing how to handle a situation, but that seems to be a difficulty for you as well. That is not fit for a Prince, if you ask me. Sending naughty letters to a women you 'cherish' is not handling a situation greatly at all, you are just simply showing her that you are not seriously ready to be in love with someone. Also, dear Hamlet, let us all be known to the fact that you are ignoring all the drama going on with Mr. Fortinbras and his taking back of Norway. You don't seem too worried about that fact and you think that if you ignore it, it will all go away. Sorry, sir Hamlet that is not happening as long as you realize that there are important things at stake for not only you, but also your country. Sir Hamlet, you have horrible brains when it comes to handling situation. Let's take the break up with Ophelia into consideration. You both agreed to break up and then something didn't go your way, so you decided that trash talking to her would make it all good but, it didn't telling her that "you didn't love her anyways" doesn't make you sound like a 30 year old man, it makes you sound as if you are a redundant fifth grader upset because his girl friend took his sandwich. You really should consider thinking about the way your actions are being shown. I must say though, Hamlet, that if another person was writing this letter, they would say that you weren't being immature, you were just showing that you could stoop to their level. With that I must be on my way now dear Hamlet, but before I go here are my final thoughts. |

| Alas, you have come to the end of my letter young lad. I hope that you have thoroughly read this letter and realized that maturity varies in every way, shape and form. Then again, I hope you remembered right from wrong, when to be serious and how to handle a situation. Do as young Fortinbras is doing, and take what is yours back, which my friend is, your dignity. |
