Journal Entry # 5 “Goodnight Sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to they rest.” Horatio is the only person who is truly loyal to Hamlet. Wh

I'm loyal to all my friends, if one tells me a secret, I don't' tell anyone else. I'm also loyal to my mom and dad.
I really value loyalty. I think it is a rare commodity to come by these days. Now it seems like people are more loyal to money and themselves than to anyone else. Which is their folly because loyalty is something money can't buy. Just look at the government, everyone is so worried about getting themselves ahead, they don't care who they hurt in the process. Look at the locker rooms in our own school, it seems like only your very best friend is loyal to you. I think we should be more loyal to everyone, even if they aren't our really good friend, and even more loyal if they are. I remember once I confided in a friend and made him promise not to tell any body, not even his own mother. He could have broken his promise, but he didn't. To this day he hasn't uttered a word about it, and he doesn't know how important that was to me. If no one has anyone has loyal as that, I feel sincerely sorry for them. My friend was to me as Horatio is to Hamlet.
In Hamlets world, Horatio is like a life line. Everyone else has betrayed and back stabbed Hamlet, including his only love. If he didn't have Horatio, Hamlet might have gone truly mad. Horatio wasn't only loyal to Hamlet, he was loyal to the king, the queen, and Ophelia. Ironically, the most loyal character in the play is the only one that doesn't end up dead at the end.
