Hamlet Character Justification

I chose to blog from the perspective of Horatio. A close friend to Hamlet, Horatio serves as the anchor in Hamlet's life as well as the play.  When Hamlet believes he sees a ghost, Horatio believes he sees the same apparition, grounding Hamlet's sanity.  What makes Horatio interesting is that although he doesn't serve a major role to the play, he is the sole character to provide insight as to what Hamlet thinks, believes, etc.  This factor is what makes Horatio a "social media" worthy character.  While providing an outside perspective on the drama, as well as insight from Hamlet himself, readers will want to read blog posts from an unbiased, yet primary source, therefore making Horatio's perspective the perfect blog.
