CRAZY OR NOT CRAZY
Quite honestly, Ophelia is genuinely insane. I could list all those crazy love songs that she sings about Hamlet, but I'm not going to because my blog would become dense and cumbersome. Anyway, when someone starts using words like "beatufied," I'm assured that something is wrong with the character. I feel as if all the characters in this play reflect how Hamlet wants the world to be. For example, Hamlet thinks all women are weak; therefore, Ophelia now looks so ridiculously stupid that she becomes frail and useless. Now I have a question for who or whatever may read this, why does Shakespeare have no "good" characters; I mean Polonious was a rat, Claudius is Cain, Hamlet is Shylock (MERCHANT OF VENICE), Gertrude lusts every guy she sees, Ophelia is psycho, Guildenwhatever and Roschaya are as good as trees, the Ghost is in hell, Laertes might be good, but what can we say is good about him- he wants to kill Hamlet.
