"Madness is great ones must not unwatched go."

The quote "Madness is great ones must not unwatched go" when I read that I think about what it means. What it means is that he is saying that the great ones should always be watched no matter what. The great ones in the Hamlet days were the King and the Queen. He says that they should be watched at all times.
I think that would be true in any age because each age we have had, there is some kind of leader. Those leaders need to watched who knows maybe because they could get assassinated or do something betraying to their people. When we didn't watch our great ones carefully they each dropped dead. For example, Martin Luther King got shot.
He was one of the great ones. He gave his "I have a dream" speech and many people came and gathered just to hear it. There was Abraham Lincoln. He was a president. He got killed while he was watching a opera I think it was. He wasn't watched carefully.
King Cladius when he says "great ones" he means presidents, senators, vice presidents, or just anyone that is important to the economy. The ones that helps keeps the economy stable while they are leader to protect them and watch them. King Claudius was a king back in his days. There was a thing known as murder and assassination. He was afraid he would get killed also.
After all Hamlets dad did get murdered. King Claudius was afraid of revenge, he didn't want to be killed but he wanted to be king. He just said that quote so it'd make him look all brave and not afraid of anything. He wanted it to look like it was just a simple order for his soldiers and knights. I believe it is so true though. If u don't watched your great ones then who knows what could happen. Society today keeps their looks on their great ones by guarding them and protecting them when they go out and stuff. President Orack Obama, he had a bulletproof thing on. He is one of the presidents most likely to get assassinated because he is the first African American president. Who wouldn't be jealous of that?

I think my teacher used your blog to make questions for us for our HAMLET papers... Isn't that pretty cool?
