In class this morning as we continued to watch the movie Hamlet, I noticed how strange the whole story is. To put it in simpler terms, the story is a MESS!!! Hamlet totally went about revenging his fathers death the wrong way.
Hamlet is just so so so mean to Ophelia, its sad, it really is. She did not deserve his pent up anger!! at-least not the way he gave it. I am starting to see how Hamlet is taking out his anger and confusion on the people closest to him. And when its all said and done, when he kills Claudius and the people find out the truth.... it wont matter, because he was reckless and destroyed all and any relationship worth having.
The reality of Hamlet is very unlikely...but the emotions and decisions that come with this type of situation is very normal...unfortunately. Even I can relate to an extent, and so far no one I know has been murdered. However, if someone I knew was murdered..I don't know if I would react the same way Hamlet did. I know that I would be livid, confused, terribly distressed, maybe even on the verge or insanity...but I don't know if I could justify those feelings with killing people too.
