Ophelia's Death

Ophelia was most heart broken that the fact hearing about her father's death. Her father's death I think was her breaking point and to top it off her brother was not even there to grieve with her. Knowing that theirs was nothing left for her in her world, I think was driven with madness that she did not realize she was drowning. Even though everything that happen to her was not her fault she was just trying to please to her father commands.
Ophelia was faced with things that were to much to handle all in one day. Ophelia couldn't be with the man she truly loved and that same man killing her own father is just to much to take in for the poor girl. Knowing that she died in a river seems to me that she died in a peaceful way. With her dress spreading around the water and how she had flowers in her hand when she died made it seem to me she died in a peaceful way. Sadly we will never know what really happen to dear Ophelia my the lord rest her poor soul.

Hamlet's Dilemma


In this scene I think Hamlet's dilemma is that he thinks too much. He over thinks on how to kill Claudius and doesn’t. He was thinking that if he killed Claudius, Hamlet would go to hell and Claudius would go to heaven because he is in the middle of praying. Also he was thinking it would be a better idea to catch Claudius sinning in order to kill him so he can go to hell than killing him while he is praying. Hamlet did in fact had the right mind of thinking everything over and planning it but I think it is going to affect him in long run when Claudius tries to get rid of him before Hamlet can even lay a finger on him. If I was Hamlet would have killed Claudius while he was praying.
