Blog 23; Act 4 Ophelia Literary Criticism

     The news has become a official and it is heartbreaking throughout the castle to hear of such a things. "So fast they follow"(4.7.162) her death has rocked the kingdom, for yes my sweet Ophelia has fallowed her father. Not days after I have slain her father she has drowned by the willow tree over the brook. "Denmark is a prison"(2.2.230) not just to me but everyone surrounding me! They all are slowly dying and leaving me behind how could that possible be fair, for my Ophelia who I deeply loved to leave me here within this prison alone. "The lives of all the characters seem to have been infected by Claudius' original crime." (227, Seng) Mine Uncle seems to have managed to destroy all of Denmark with very little effort at all! Laertes has also gone mad, but on a much different level than his dear sister Ophelia. For "He is heedless of every thought except revenge: "This nothing's more than matter,"  he says, meaning that the nonsense she speaks, a symptom of her madness, is more than a material cause to prompt his vengeance." (223, Seng) She had mentioned me to her father when she said, "He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders of his affection to me."(1.3.98-99) That was before her madness something she most certainly did not make up. Sadly my antic disposition to throw everyone around me off lead to her my conflicting behavior. To know that I had so vain things to someone I loved very dearly is a guilt I will have to live through on my own. Her words that day I physically tossed her around that room still run through my head, "My lord, I have remembrances of yours, That I have longed to redeliver; I pray you now receive them." (3.1.93-95) I wasn't able to stop my behavior I knew there were spies somewhere, yet I do regret using her a pawn in my own sick games. Her madness might of been easier to over come if the abuse from myself wouldn't have been so very harsh over the past couple of weeks. I have no regret for the murder of Polonius he was a spy and an enemy in the way of the revenge for my father. I acted in the way I was expecting to catch Claudius but caught the second best thing. Though this caused the madness and in a way caused the death of my love I am in a way hopefully that this will help by throwing the King off and make this end sooner. "I hope all will be well. We must be patient: but I cannot choose but weep,...."(4.5.66-67) The last true san words she used to my Uncle were published in the morning paper and are the true meaning of grieving. Unlike my mother she grieved herself all the way to the grave! Though that shouldn't of been the case because she was loved by all for her sweet innocence, it was her path along this horrible journey of life. "A grave being dug for Ophelia- is a reflection of a disordered moral universe of the whole play." (227, Seng) She held the kingdom together and now as she is buried in her grave the whole world has fallen into chaos. In Chaos it shall stay!

The Bourne Identity (Trailer)

Blog 21; Hamlet Act 2 Revenge and Espionage

Oh how can I possibly avenge my father?
Whether it be to show indifference or to cause murder itself,
"For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak" (2.2.521)
A weapon most popularly used by Bourne
The act of committing the murder is torture enough
At least for most. My step father is a different story,
Murder wouldn't be the best course of action.
Though I wish that could be the case.
Oh how very simple he has it!
Though his identity is gone, he has no problem acting in spite.
Why must I be such a coward!
He fought for himself under unthinkable circumstances!
"Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!" (2.2.507)
That is me! Oh how that is me!
Am I hopeless? Gutless? What if I am useless?
"Why did you laugh then, when I said "man delights not me"?" (2.2.284)
I am not delightful! Oh but god has made him so!
He is delightful, brave, and revengeful. Why must revenge be so hard.
"Words, words, words"(2.2.198)
That is all I happen to be made up of.
He is filled with actions well I am only filled with thoughts.
Why must Denmark be so broken down!
There is no adventure for identity here
It's simply a dark hopeless path
"Denmark is a prison" (2.2.230)
I wish Paris was my prison rather than here.
I need to match Bourne!
With his identity and courage I can get my revenge!!

Blog Post 20; Hamlet Act 1

        My mother has found my fathers death to be a much different emotional rollercoaster than my own. I myself have found this experience to be heartbreaking well she is off marrying my Uncle. "A little more than kin, and less than kind!" (1.2.65) It's embarrassing as well as inappropriate to be do such a thing to my father. It hasn't even been two months since we lost my dear father King Hamlet yet she is already running about with Claudius as if my father was nothing but a mere dream or imaginary friend. "Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral bak'd meats/ Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." (1.2.180-181) They couldn't even make there own food but used the food in my fathers honor, her husbands honor, but worst of all his brothers honor! How in their right mind could possibly think that this was okay young Fortinbras seems to know exactly what is happening to Denmark before anyone in the country but myself does. We are falling apart and rotting under the new kings orders and now I must suffer as well. "And we beseech you, bend you to remain Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye, Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son." (1.2.115-117) Now they have told me to stay here in this horrible place that has an enemy for a ruler rather then go to be with my friends and learn as I was in the lovely place of Wittenberg. My mother has used her powers of persuasion on me with her "Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet: I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg." (1.2.118-119) She thinks it's okay to hold me here in my dispare and dread like it's just stage I will pass. Claudius who finds himself to be my father now keeps telling me how I must let the lose of my father go and have the cloud that hangs over me leave my mind forever. "How is it that the clouds still hang on you?" (1.2.66) Just because the clouds over him and my mother have faded over with in a short two months does not mean that mine should pass any faster then I see fit to be done mourning my own father. My feelings are not under any means a toy to play with though what they may think. I will not respond to every beck and call for my attitude to change just because they find it to be unnatural or the tiny bit depressing. I am no longer a boy with a King for a father but rather a man with a King for an Uncle. My grieving will not end on a dime and I will not let anyone tell me I am a slightly crazy. I am Hamlet and Hamlet I will stay!
