Claudius

So far, I am most interested with Claudius. Claudius immerses as the 'bad guy' or antagonist in act 1, when Hamlet senior's ghost tells his son, Hamlet, that Claudius poisoned him in order to take the throne from him. Now as Claudius is the king, it is clear that he really only cares about getting power, and not Hamlet or his mother. Even though it may be weird to say my favorite character is the bad guy in this play, I am really interested to see how Claudius continues to act through the play, and possibly abuse his powers, and I can't wait to see how Hamlet's revenge on Claudius plays out.
