The Girl in Black

“Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,/Why you never see bright colors on my back,/And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone./Well, there's a reason for the things that I have (John R. Cash).” These words, spoken by the soulful singer, Johnny Cash, are why my justification on why my blog went from pink, the color of love, to black. Please ask me no more, I can barely handle that both myself and Hamlet are upset. But of course, Hamlet and I are in a lover’s quarrel and that is something I do not want to get in to at this very moment. I just wish that God in heaven would help him, and for this I’ve pleaded multiple times. “O, help him, you sweet heavens! (3. 1. 145).” I must utter these words multiple times a day. I just want my beloved Hamlet to return to me, and maybe, just maybe, once again, we will be happy again. And why the blue outlining? Well, dear friends of mine, I’m incredibly upset. Sometimes, Hamlet is just so hot and cold. Just a few nights ago, he shows up in my room and what a sweet surprise that was (but a true lady never kisses and tells, if you know what I mean), but today “And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, that sucked the honey of his musicked vows (3. 1. 169-170).” I mean, I told him everything and trusted him, and this is how he repays me. I used to think that Hamlet wasn’t the typical boy, but I supposed I may be wrong.

Also, you may notice that the font has changed. Well, my readers, while love is a very serious and formal topic, I’ve received some complaints that my original font was just a little too formal. So, I’m attempting to lighten up a little. Though my life is becoming much harder to maintain, it’s sometimes easier to handle if things get lightened up just a tad. And if you look closely at the picture in the background, it appears to be the barren desert. That’s because things are horribly wrong here in my home of Denmark. “something is rotten in the state of Denmark (1.4.90)" and, if Denmark is going down with a white flag, it will soon become a desert country.

Until next time,

Ophelia, who at one point was thought to be the next Queen of Denmark

  1. Girl, I feel you Ophelia. I too am in a great depressing state. I am sorry that you and Hamlet are having issues. I hope that your black clothes soon change to lighter happier ones. But maybe you should forget about him, for I fear if you linger on this depressive state then you will spiral down into depression. Don't dwell on how it was, "Oh, woe is me, / T' have seen what I have seen, see what I see!" (3.1.160-161). The past is past just move on, and you should get through it. I am still sorry that there is stuff not right between you and him, I did hear he was quite rude, "Still better and worse." (3.2.235).

  2. Ahh this lovers quarrel is so rough… as they always are. I definitely understand. Everything just feels so hopeless at this point. The color change from happy and bright, to dark and glum is definitely evident. It definitely feels like everything’s falling apart. Based on that crazy stunt he pulled in my room makes me really question Hamlet. I thought he wasn’t the typical mysterious guy… I thought he was different… but maybe I was wrong, and those around me giving me advice were right…. *sigh* being a girl is a CONSTANT struggle… love, O
