ophelia's unfortunate ending
In the painting, I feel like Ophelia is being represented as if she was hopeless, its kind of disturbing just from the facial expression, the backround. Also, I noticed that she is holding flowers in one hand as if she already knew that she was going to die or something like that. In my opinion, I think Shakespeare intended on making Ophelia the innocent girl in the play or to be the woman who is just there for the sake of it, she has no sense of having a past. I honestly think she was just put in the story have to add a little tragedy in the play. Ophelia's last moments must of been intended, why else would she run off with a bunch of flowers in her hands giving off flowers to her loved one, to add to that, she's a lune. She must have intended on killing herself. Ophelia must have given in after the branch below he broke, come on, the water isnt that deep, from the painting, i could tell that the water wasnt even deep, this symbolized to me a sense of giving up or like I said before, intentional death. Gertude must have seen her die because he felt that she was doing what she needed to do. Ophelia's cause of madness must have been all the lies that she must have been told or the reason was that she wasnt allowed to love who she wanted to. I represent Ophelia as an unimportant character.

My emotions, im sensitive
Well... people think in different manners, see things differently, Without a doubt, this is the reason why there are so many different versions of Hamlet. This tells me that Hamlet is complex in the sense of poetry. I liked the version with the guy with the gun. He used lux aeturna , I think that's how you spell, to his advantage to make everything oh so very dramatic. It made me think like never before, my heart was filled with emotion and regret that I am not a poet.
In Lawrence Oliver's Hamlet, it was too boring, the guy had no talent what so ever, and it was just dull, the only intersting thing that was interesting was the dagger and the ocean because it symbolized death and troubles.
In Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, it started of silent, he began talking to himself in a mirror. He was talking to his concience and was fighting it but with a sense of self control.
In Michael Alymereyda's Hamlet, the guy was filmed himself and kept repeating ,repeating over and over again to make it dramtic. He used a gun as a symbol of death and that's basically was happened, it was modernized.
Franco Zefferelli's Hamlet, the dude was in a tomb, and he was with his dead ancestors. There is peace after death, the lighting was awesome, great job by the way, and overall Mel was very passionate, clubbing his ancestors with no sense of disrespect.
