This explanation of how your life is better now than it was before Hamlet is
almost comical in its lake of sincerity. If you had taken anybody else's
feelings into account, for instance Hamlets, these unfortunate events that have
taken place may have not happened. Running off with you husbands brother right
after he passed was an irresponsible thing to do and has show to have weighed on
Hamlets mind more than anyone had ever suspected.

The connections that you made from the Bourne movie to Hamlet are amazingly
accurate. The lack of trust in the kingdom and the lack of trust between anyone
in the movie have parallels in reasoning as well. Both of the characters are
running from problems that will eventually catch up to them. The prevalence of
betrayal in the both stories is significant because its all about the chase for
one person, in most ways, in both stories.

I disagree as well with the statement that Hamlet must love Claudius. Hamlets
infidelities have been much more than forgivable and have led to events that can
not be reversed. Ultimately Hamlets wrongdoings sealed his fate as a betrayer of
nations and this can not be undone. Unfortunately his fate was what he had
coming to him and probably ended better than most saw it ending.

I agree with Michael on this one the mirror was a great way to represent the
inner struggles of Hamlet. I felt it also highlighted his To be or not to be
speech because it allows him to look into his inner self, see the discrepancies,
and see that his wrongdoings have led to create problems that are tearing the
kingdom apart.

Ophelia was caught in an unfortunate situation in Hamlet. Normally Hamlet would
have been a companion worth pursuing. In this situation though, with all of the
mental and physical stress Hamlet would have led her down a dark path, as he did
with himself. The stress that Hamlet experienced would have also worn no
Ophelia. I was right when I told her that hamlet was a weekly fad and to not
give him the time of day.

A love song here is the only thing that thoroughly describes the situation. Your
ability to fall in love so fast mirrors that of teenage relationships. Your
ability to move on so quickly is a scary indicator that you were never really
invested in the relationship and didn't really care that moving on so fast made
you look bad. Your first husband gave you everything and you quickly just
shrugged it off to get with next good looking guy. It is truly sad that you
would be that unwilling to invest even a tiny bit of love into a marriage with a
man you said you loved.
