Ophelia's Eulogy

Today we are here to honor the lovely Ophelia.  She was a great and strong woman and kept it together as long as she could. She was a bright soul who liked to bring happiness to others and easy to get along with and relate to.  She fell in love with the Prince Hamlet but was forbidden by her father to see him.  This crushed as it would crush most of us here, to be shunned away from the love of your life.

Since she could not see her lover it took a tool on the young beauty.  Hamlet was going through a tough time as well and he was acting inappropiate which affected her. Then Ophelia's father died and was killed by Hamlet, this set Ophelia off to go mad. All these things that went on in her life was extremely hard to handle.  Her way of dealing with all this was to take her own life, we should respect her decsion and understand the reason for her committing suicide. A girl once on top of the world was brought to her lowest point.   

Hamlet's Dilemma Entry Response

I believe that Hamlet delaying to kill Claudius immediately was a smart decision but I think he was fabricating the fact that he was not putting off the murder.  I think he was too afraid to kill his stepfather right then and there.  It was wise of Hamlet to not kill him though because Claudius was praying an not sinning like he usually does, so when killed he would of went to Heaven rather than Hell.  I do believe that Claudius is really guilty of killing Old Hamlet so it is justified of the killing of the king.  Hamlet's decision was smart but i think he was putting off killing Claudius rather than thinking it through.
