Hamlet and Ophelia

My blog post is a little bit early this week because I’m probably not going to be able to receive any internet connection to complete it. But I would to talk about my overall view on Hamlet so far. Hamlet is somewhat confusing to me. I mean, I understand that he is upset about the death of his father, King Hamlet, but there were so many unanswered questions inside my head. Most of those questions were answered in our class discussions. One of questions was about Hamlet and Ophelia and their overall relationship. During their conversation in Act III, Hamlet said that he used to love Ophelia and she believed him but then Hamlet said the she shouldn't have believed him because he didn't love her. I had no clue what that meant. One of my classmates said that it was the insane mood he was in that made him sound like he wasn't making any sense. I understood that because in Acts I & II, Hamlet was going completely insane because of his father’s death. So King’s Hamlet’s death might have affected the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia. They were probably happy and actually in love. Then when the king died, everything began to change, at least for Hamlet. His mood changed, he always wore black, and talked about complete nonsense. His father’s death has seriously gotten into his head.
