Blog Post 3

I chose to represent my blog with Red and Blue colors. Red because of the love and some might say tragedy between Ophelia and Hamlet “Ay, springes to catch woodcocks. I do know, When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul Lends the tongue vows. These blazes, daughter, Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Even in their promise as it is a-making, You must not take for fire. From this time Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence. Set your entreatments at a higher rate Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet, Believe so much in him that he is young, And with a larger tether may he walk Than may be given you. In few, Ophelia, Do not believe his vows, for they are brokers Not of that dye which their investments show, But mere implorators of unholy suits, Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds, The better to beguile. This is for all: I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth, Have you so slander any moment leisure, As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. Look to ’t, I charge you. Come your ways.”(1.3.115-135) and for the blood shed that has taken place. Blue was chosen because it represents the royalty of the situation taking place between the king and queen and also has the connotation of being the color of the male human figure which has a lot to do with what is going on right now because it involves a lot of men fighting over the throne and women.

I didn’t chose a certain font because I am not one who like to complicate things by changing them if there already working. Simpler is better in my eyes. I think a lot of problems we are having now with hamlet if more people looked at life this way. The imagery I used in the blog was a lion for the strength I need during these hard times, I also used a balance because I need to remember to be fair in all judgment that I put on people. It also reminds me that during these times of incredible insanity, and at times stupidity, I always need to be smart and think through all the decisions I make because they will not only affect my life but also the lives of the ones around me that I love.
