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!
