Blog #13: Hamlet Act I

Hey guys, it’s Ophelia. Sorry I haven’t been blogging lately, but I’ve had so much going on. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my new boyfriend, Hamlet. Life is so complicated right now because, lately he has “made many tenders of his affection to me” (1.3.99-100) which is awesome, because I love him, but my dad totally freaked when I told him about it. He told me I sounded “like a green girl” (1.3.101), which is totally offensive because I told him that our relationship is “in honorable fashion” (1.3.111). Why can’t my dad be more understanding towards my love? I am an adult now, and I totally understand what love is. And get this, he told me “I would not…have you…give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet” (1.3.132-135). This is just so hard for me, because I love and respect my father, and I told him that I would listen to him, but there is a huge conflict between my respect for my father and my love for Hamlet. What do you guys think I should do? Go be with the man I love, or stay with my father?
