Eulogy

Ophelia was a beautiful, and very respectful women. She brought joy to whoever and where ever she was. Sadly she had gone mad from the death of her father. She started breaking down right after she have found out that Hamlet killed her father. She thought that it was her fault. She put that blame on herself because her father did not permit her to date Hamlet. She believe that it was Hamlet's love for Ophelia that made him crazy and act out in such a way. She then went mad. And now we have lost such a kind hearted soul that had been corrupted by the wrong idea. For it was never her fault in the first place. She has drowned in a lake. I don't believe that it was a suicide but she had so much sorrow and it is a possibility. No one was around her when she drowned and it was a lake. No waves or animals could have forcibly drowned Ophelia. I do feel bad for her. She was a poor lil girl who just was listen to what her father asked her to do. And doing that caused her father's death in her mind. Its just saddening. To misunderstand the situation and then end up dying from it. May she rest in peace.

Hamlet's Dilemma

Hamlet's Dilemma

Hamlet's thought process of not killing Claudius intrigued me. His thoughts of Claudius being forgiven while praying shows that both are them are very religious. In my opinion Hamlet did the right thing not killing Claudius at the moment he had. It is said that God is forgiving and if he killed Claudius while he was praying and saying his sins, Claudius would have gone to heaven. Hamlet wants to kill him while he is sinning, so he will have the same pain that his own brother has felt. Hamlet should wait for the opportunity where Claudius is unjust and committing a sin. Even though as he was praying he committed one of the seven deadly sins. "GREED" Claudius shows greed throughout his speech and still asks God if he can be forgiven, but still keep the goods that he stole. So I believe that even if Hamlet didn't hesitate he would have still suffered the same fate. What goes around comes around. Claudius must have never been told this before.
