Arden, this was great! I love how you overdramaticized everything, something that a teenage Ophelia (and teenage girls everywhere) tend to do. This was extremely well written and I loved it. Good job! I especially liked when you said “You see, my brother, Laertes, and my father, Polonius, both told me that I should basically should have nothing to do with Hamlet. They say he is not right for me, and that I shouldn't see him. But I don't get it, why not??? Hamlet has done me no wrong, and I believe that he loves me, as I love him.” It’s how, me, speaking as Ophelia, would view things as well, and girl, I’m glad you and I both feel the same way. Thank god you and I have each other to fall back on because if I didn’t have any quality girl time with friends, I don’t know what I’d do.

“Two
wrongs don’t make a right.” I’ve never seen Revenge but I’ve always wanted to.
The quote from the beginning of the clip when she’s talking to her father shows
how much she’s changed from when she’s younger to now as an adult after her
father is taken. Hmm, maybe I’ll have to watch this, especially after
everything that’s happened to my father. <3 Ophelia

Horatio,
I must ask why you refer to my beloved Hamlet as “Hammie.” It is an
unflattering nickname, and I can assure you he does not like it. But, anyway, I
mustn’t focus on your absurd nickname. “By this, I do believe he means that my
belief system and what I would like to think is true about people in general,
them being innately good overall, is but a dream.” Well, Horatio, if you think
all people are innately good, you’ll have to let me know what you think about
some of the recent newsworthy events of Denmark. Do let me know. ~~Ophelia

Post Four (commented on Shannon’s blog)
Oh,
Hamlet, I wish you would open up to me to tell me about your problems you’re
having at home. I long to help you out because I love you so. I long for this
more than anything in the world. If I could ask for anything, I want the old
Hamlet to come back to me. When you say “A cause for Hamlet's inaction lies in the problem of suicide (in addition
to the fact that it is morally and religiously wrong which brings the state of
afterlife into question), what will happen after death. Will the dreams be
peaceful or will they be terrifying, what will one go to Heaven or to Hell.
Imagery is used here to help advance this point,” it makes me sad to realize
that you are thinking of killing yourself. I would much rather you and I have a
serious talk about what’s happening in your life. Talk to me, Hamlet, please
talk to me! Always remember that I love you, Ophelia.
Blog Post Five (commented on Ria’s blog)
Dear friend, I completely understand what you are
going through. This critic tries to understand what you and I are going
through, when he has no idea what is truly going on in our lives. He tries to
say that we are deranged and crazy, but truthfully, we are upset. “How this
person can make such broad judgments I do not see...I have deeper meaning now
more than ever that I do not think any one else can notice.” I understand what
you are talking about here completely. He’s trying to pass judgment on us when
we don’t deserve it. I think someone needs to analyze this person because what
he saying is full of lies and does not contain one piece of truth in this
so-called “scholarly piece of writing.”—Ophelia

Blog Post Six (commented on Marte’s blog)
Oh, Hamlet, you have no idea how my heart swells
when I read that you love me. Nothing makes me happier than to know that you
love me. I will no longer doubt you anymore, my love. “In my funeral I won't just remember me and my
life, but I want to honor those I cherished and hold dared to me.” Hamlet,
thank you for choosing me as one of the people who you cherished. I want you to
know that I never doubted you, even when my family told me to watch for out for
you. I wish we could have spent more time together. Just remember that I will
always love you, just like the song say. ~~Ophelia
