Ophelia's Eulogy

   Ophelia was faced with things that were extremely hard to handle. She couldn't be with the man she loved, and that same man is the person who killed her father. Ophelia's burial rites should not be questionable. We shouldn't judge her based off her actions at this point. Everything that happened to her was not her fault, and she didn't ask for that fate.

  Everyone has a breaking point, and her father's death just topped it all off. We don't know that she killed herself, and we never will. She has already passed away and speculating won't help anything. Therefore, her burial rites shouldn't have to be discussed. Although she went mad that doesn't take away from the fact that she was a good person. We should give her a proper funeral and burial. She deserves not only that, but also our respect and sympathy.

 

 

Hamlet's Hesitation

  I think that the fact that Hamlet wants to wit until Claudius is in the act of sinning to kill him is extremely smart. I don't think wanting to murder his father's killer is crazy at all. I think it's completely understandable for him to have those feelings. As bad as it sounds, I kind of have to admire his careful planning. He really thought out every little detail. I think killing Claudius when he is in the middle of sinning is justifiable because his father never got the chance to pray for forgiveness for his sins, why should Claudius get that chance? It would be like Hamlet murdered Claudius for no reason. He would just be hanging out in heaven lol. Hamlet wants him to suffer and go through what his father had to.

 I think that Hamlet will really suffer if he actually goes through with killing Claudius. Everyone already thinks he's crazy and I don't think anyone is suspicious of Claudius being the murderer, therefore Hamlet would just be turned into more of an outcast.
