#12: Hamlet Character Choice

The character who I have chosen to focus on is Ophelia. I believe it will be very interesting to look from the perspective of a woman and the two sides of her that are presented in this play. In reading the introduction to her character, the two roles discussed were very intriguing. Hamlet's skewed and negative view of all women shown through her contrasted with the innocence of women also being shown is very though provoking. The ability to look through the two different sides of her and tackle the assignments from two views will hopefully prove to be engaging to the blog readers. As one of few female characters that have a role in the play, she will definitely provide a unique perspective that can enhance understanding of the play.
