Ophelia's Eulogy

Ophelia was a very sweet and innocent girl, going through the tragedies that come to us in life. Someone very special and close to her died, her father. She was just trying to cope with life's dilemmas, which is why in fact Ophelia was not crazy or different or weird. I believe that her acting out was a way to get through her life, thefore as well as Ophelia no one takes tragedy lightly. Ophelia could have lashed out and her "condition" could have been worse.

The Universality of Hamlet

I do agree that there is something timeless about Hamlet's character and the play itself because once you get a glimpse of anything involving Hamlet weather it be the play, a movie, or a the book it's something that you will always remember experiencing it. As I am reading Hamlet now, I have realized that the things said and done captures me into thinking that situations in life never changed from the time Hamlet was written, until now. Thereore, my interepretaion is that life's ups and downs are similar no matter the era or who they are.

Hamlet's in quite a pickle ..

Hamlet has a descision to make, weather to kill Claudius right then or should he wait it out and give it some thought. The trick although is that while Hamlet is considering all off this, Claudius is praying and attempting to repent which is the reason why Hamlet is in such a "pickle". I think that Hamlet did the right thing not killing Claudius while he was repenting and praying because that would have made Hamlet just as wrong as Claudius for doing something without putting in any thought into it. Also, even though Hamlet does not condone Claudius being married to his mother he should still take her feelings into consideration because he would jeapordize him and his mother's relationship even more.
