🎭 Act 3, Scene 4 of "Hamlet": 👻 Ghostly Family Drama! 🏰🍿

🕰️ It's been a while since the ghost of Hamlet's dad appeared, but he's back for a ghostly family reunion! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Claudius, the sneaky uncle-king, throws a lavish party at the castle 🎉 while his queen-mom, Gertrude, and Hamlet's girlfriend, Ophelia, are in attendance.

👻 Suddenly, like a spooky surprise, the ghost reappears! 😱 Hamlet's like, "Hey, Mom, check out this ghostly cameo!" But oops, the ghost only shows himself to Hamlet. 🙈 Gertrude's like, "Sweetie, there's nothing there! Maybe lay off the coffee."

🎭 Hamlet gets serious and confronts his mom about her hasty marriage to his uncle. 💔 He's like, "Mom, how could you? That's like dating your ex's evil twin!" 🧛‍♂️ Claudius feels the tension and guilt, so he's like, "Let's stop this drama and have some fun! Have a drink, Hamlet!" 🍷

🤔 But Hamlet's not buying it. He's like, "No, seriously, Mom, you're living in a soap opera! Don't marry the villain!" 🕵️‍♂️ He starts revealing all the lies and secrets, and Gertrude's starting to feel like she's on a really awkward talk show. 📺

😢 Ophelia, who's already dealing with her own emotional rollercoaster, tries to talk to Hamlet, but he's like, "Go join a nunnery, Ophelia, because relationships are overrated!" 💔 Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

👻 The ghost reminds Hamlet of his revenge mission, and Hamlet's like, "Okay, okay, I got it! Time for some ghost-approved payback! 👊" But first, he makes his mom promise not to sleep with Claudius anymore. 🤫

🎭 As the scene ends, everyone's emotionally drained, and it feels like they should all join a Shakespearean support group. 🤷‍♀️ Ghostly family drama, betrayal, and awkward confrontations – just another day in "Hamlet"! 🤣💔
