Ophelia's Euligy

     Ophelia lived a tragic life. From a distraught boyfriend to an abrupt ending, Ophelia did not have a happy life. Now that we look back, maybe death was the best thing for her and maybe, is what she wanted. There is not saying whether she took her own life but she should be honored anyways. This tragic ending was not her fault, but the fault of her surroundings.
     If I lived her life, I wouldn't fight death either. She was forced to stop seeing the only boy she ever loved. Then she watched him go crazy believing that it was he fault. This would take a toll on this once sweet girl. Then she finally snapped when Hamlet killed her father. That is when death didn't seem that bad to her and she didn't fight the drowning. So we should remember her as a tragic story, and a struggle of a life that could of been avoided.

Hamlets Dilemma

     I don't agree with Hamlets decision to not kill Claudius when he had the chance. He had already done all of his planning to see if Claudius was guilty. The only reason he had to hesitate was because he was angry and wanted Claudius to suffer in the after life. I believe Claudius did kill his dad because of his reaction to the play. The ghost of his dad did not ask for Hamlet to make Claudius suffer, he just asked Hamlet to kill him. Also waiting for a better time might cause problems in the future ( like killing Polonius). If they would think he is a madman, waiting for another time would not change there opinions.
