Well since I should be getting some last minute studying for vocab I will only focus on one of these questions for now.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any new thoughts on Ophelia’s role in Hamlet?
I am so thrilled that Quinn got to explain how great Ophelia’s role in Hamlet is, was, and forever shall be! It is awesome that Mackenzie got to see a different view on Ophelia and at last have some peace with her character. The best thing is that it has given Mackenzie the motivation to reread the play. Way to go Mackenzie!…I might join you in doing that too! Ophelia has always been my favorite character in Hamlet and to hear that so many people didn’t see a point in her character made me sad. So a million thanks to Quinn for his sharing his amazing view on Ophelia. I do have some new thoughts on her that I didn’t think of that makes me adore her role even more. Quinn was saying how every women that reads Hamlet should love Ophelia because she really gives women a role of their own. Poor Ophelia was tossed around. Her mind and heart where in two different places and it definitely didn’t help that she was having outside opinions telling her what to do and feel. Awesome discussion and hoping for one just as great in the future.
