rionaleonhart | Both Light And I Are Prone To Bad Ideas.

A friend mentioned she'd seen a comment about Light Yagami on a video about Shakespeare.

Riona: I suddenly and desperately want to see Death Note as written by Shakespeare.
Mori: Be the change you want to see.

I apologise for the results. This soliloquy is set during this scene from the first chapter of the manga (read the manga pages from right to left).

I... don't think I'll write any more of this? I very much hope I'm not going to write any more of this.

LIGHT:
Two men lie dead because I wrote their names,
A monstrous act - but wait, were not those men
Of monstrous acts themselves both culpable?
And yet the second weighs upon my soul;
His acts were grave, yet, to be met with death -
Before my eyes, a swift and brutal sight -
The penalty I dealt the man was steep;
Too steep, perhaps, for me to justify.
But - no. Why should I lie awake in bed
With visions of these ghosts within my mind?
What right have they to torment me like this?
The world is better off without their kind.
I'll wield my pen and cleanse the world of sin:
My right, my duty. Come now, let's begin.
