An image showing a dramatic scene within a grand palace hall. Actors dressed in theatrical costumes will be performing a play. In the foreground, a figure resembling Hamlet, dressed in dark attire, will be observing the reaction of King Claudius and Queen Gertrude, who are seated among the audience. Their expressions will be a mixture of shock, unease, and perhaps anger, hinting at their guilt as the play mirrors the murder of Hamlet's father. The lighting will be focused on the stage and the royal couple, creating a tense and revealing atmosphere.

Jaegyum: "Wow, Jaeyi, Hamlet was so sad! Why did Hamlet’s uncle kill his father?"

Jaeyi: "I know! He wanted to be king and marry Hamlet’s mother. That’s so bad!"

Jaegyum: "Yes! And Hamlet was very angry. But why did he wait so long to fight his uncle?"

Jaeyi: "Hmm… Maybe he was scared? Or confused? He even pretended to be crazy!"

Jaegyum: "Right! But in the end, so many people died… Even Hamlet! It’s so tragic."

Jaeyi: "Yeah… But the story teaches us about revenge and mistakes. Do you think Hamlet made good choices?"

Jaegyum: "Mmm… No, not all. Maybe talking to someone would’ve helped. What do you think?"

Jaeyi: "I agree! If he trusted his friends more, it could’ve been different. But it’s a good story!"

Jaegyum: "Yes! Next, let’s read a happier story, okay?" (laughs)
