Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I realized that Elsinore was for Hamlet, as it was for me, a gilded cage. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Thus I raged, but inwardly I hoped that Hamlet meant his words of love, and I wished that I had heard him speak them.

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Still lethargic from my sleep, I wondered if this was a game, a joke of Hamlet’s.

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But I was desperate to understand the reason for Hamlet’s coldness, and Horatio seemed my only hope. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I have said nothing.

Hamlet, you frighten me.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My father rushed in, announcing the arrival of the ambassadors from Norway and promising, upon their departure, his own news of great importance concerning Hamlet’s recent disposition. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Little Hamlet, his thumb between his lips, toddles from the cottage.

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Claudius led me to the stage, the broad foyer where Hamlet often passed and the very place where I had watched him instruct the players.

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Prince Hamlet has bestowed on me some signs of love,” I said, choosing my words with care. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Was Hamlet mad, I wondered, with his talk of ghosts and murder? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z All that mattered was whether or not Hamlet would take action to avenge his father. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z “Yours are not the only gifts Prince Hamlet neglects. He cannot carry so much at once.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Who besides the king could charge Hamlet with the crime?

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then, wearing a doublet and hose in high fashion, he would hasten down the broad way to join the throng of men seeking positions in King Hamlet’s court. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Overcome by the brightness, I bow and clutch Hamlet to me as if he were Christ himself and all my lost loves restored to me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Seeing my reflection in a bowl of water or a looking glass, I thought how amazed Hamlet would be to see me transformed from a wild girl into a lady.

The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z I see myself and Hamlet on the mist-shrouded battlements, where an unseen ghost witnessed our embracing, then turned Hamlet’s mind from love to vengeance. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Why would Hamlet stage scenes that rubbed the still-raw memory of his father's death and his mother’s remarriage? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When I heard a deep sigh, I looked up, startled to see Hamlet framed by the stone arch of the doorway.

I did not lie.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The anger in Hamlet’s face had melted away, leaving only sadness. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Because they did not roll from his tongue like they had been practiced, I believed Hamlet’s words. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I wondered if Hamlet would find such a movement appealing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z That night it was reported that a serpent had stung King Hamlet and its venom had instantly paralyzed his heart. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I tell you truly, I doubt this ghost. But the vision has made Hamlet mad. I do not know him anymore.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z In other words, if everyone wanted to play Hamlet at once, they couldn’t, because there aren’t enough skulls!

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Is there no hope for Hamlet then?” asked Horatio, sounding despairing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z He and Rosencrantz came to blows, and Hamlet leaped up to part them. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I always assumed, on account of the flowery language, that Hamlet took place around 1400, since everything in England takes place in 1400. Better Nate Than Ever 2013-02-05T00:00:00Z “When Hamlet learned of my death...how...did he...?” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, justly served for their treachery. Hamlet learned of their role in Claudius’s plot to kill him, and he sealed their fate first.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Did Hamlet now mean to play our game? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Laertes was more agile, but Hamlet was more skilled. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet paused before coming to his point “I wish to discover whether a surgeon, by cutting out the cankered spot, could restore the vital spirit to perfection.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Himself reluctant, Hamlet loosened his hold and led me to where the maze opened onto the garden. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z So Hamlet was scheduled for this very afternoon, and here was I with no table-book in which to set it down. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z She clung to Hamlet like a vine to an oak tree. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I vowed, stepping into the great hall, that I would find out what had turned Hamlet’s love to hate. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My son, Hamlet, is as new and as full of wonders as the spring. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I looked at Hamlet, whose body was tense with anger. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet whirled around to his right, then to his left, before he saw me and drew near. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Horatio was as still as Hamlet was active, as silent as Hamlet was talkative. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Was she testing me, looking for a sign that I was in league with Hamlet? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z At Hamlet's death, my work was done; I had copied the rest on my previous visit. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z Thus I heard, to my horror, how Hamlet, losing his composure, leaped into my grave to challenge my brother, who held my lifeless form. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I understood that grief and love were close cousins, for from his loss Hamlet finally spoke the words I had longed to hear. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When Hamlet was bom. and I revealed his father’s name, Bishop Garamond believed my claim that I had fled Denmark for my safety and that of my child. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “For like a true friend, you are the buffer between Hamlet and the world's sharp blows.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Mechtild, was a vial of poison not stolen from you this April, before King Hamlet’s death?” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My first thought is that the bishop has already learned of Hamlet’s birth and has rendered a decision about my future. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I only knew that Hamlet’s absence left me bereft and confused. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But Rosencrantz was not at the ball, for he had been sent by Hamlet on a fool's errand. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z ‘Twill make it my duty to preserve Hamlet and your brother,” he pledged. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then Hamlet looked down to find that he stood before the newly placed stone, beneath which his father was buried. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I laughed at this playful outburst, seeing in Hamlet the lively boy he once was. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I told Hamlet my plan, disguising its motive, for I did not want him to think me . too unkind. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then Hamlets tone shifted, and he spoke as if he summed up all the sorrows of life. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I looked up at Hamlet’s noble countenance, his wide, intelligent brow now furrowed with grief. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But how could I be certain that Hamlet spoke in earnest? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It was only three weeks after King Hamlet's burial, and the flowers of summer were in their fullest bloom when the news blew through Elsinore like an icy wind. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Because I showed my love to Hamlet, would his ardor diminish? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Now Hamlet knelt before me, like a spring coiled tight with energy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I would not have you give words or time to Lord Hamlet henceforward,” he said in a hard, cold voice that forbade me to defy him again. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Return this gift to Hamlet Tell him you found it on my body.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The thought of Hamlet, made desperate by his father’s ghost, passed over us as a hawk’s shadow flies darkly over an open field. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z For three days we sat idle at the inn, waiting for the Lord Chamberlain's men to perform The Tragedy of Hamlet. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for his love is better than wine,” the priest intoned, while Hamlet kissed me most tenderly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The priest took the Bible from Hamlet and considered the passage, stroking his bearded chin. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “It regards Prince Hamlet. I have learned that you often meet him in secret, wearing a rustic disguise. I doubt your silly games are merely innocent,” he said. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Ruefully I considered that the truths I sought had died with him, and the only other person who could shed fight on these questions, Hamlet, was himself a mystery. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Taking my song as an invitation, Hamlet put his head in my lap, and I gently pushed him away. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Bill gave me Hamlet to read for the break. The Perks of Being a Wallflower 1999-02-01T00:00:00Z We could have dealt with his absence alone, for Sander had been studying the part of Hamlet's mother, but we were deprived of our Ophelia as well. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z "Can you come wi' me, sir? Nick's stolen the book of Hamlet." The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z When Hamlet reached my side, Horatio took his leave, saying, “In faith, Ophelia, I remain your servant” The kindness in his eyes consoled me briefly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then I recalled that he had witnessed my father telling Claudius that Hamlet was mad for my love. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I have refused Hamlet's letters and avoided his presence, as you, dear Father, have commanded. Here, I yield you this, its seal unbroken.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z With a sudden wave of his hand, Hamlet ended the rehearsal. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z His eyes were wet and betrayed his anguish, “Test me, Hamlet! I would not fail you.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “My senses are black and unfeeling; my mind is dull and stupid. My hopes of advancement are dashed,” Hamlet said with bitterness. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet, you are a piece of God’s work, the glory of Denmark, and my beloved,” I whispered. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When evening drew near, I went to the chapel to wait for Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Did Hamlet only flatter me with his attentions? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet stood near the entrance to the hall, his arms crossed in defiance. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z He knew that I consorted with Hamlet What if he began to suspect that Hamlet had revealed the king’s crime to Horatio and me? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z As we were passing by a gnarled, knotty tree, Hamlet plucked an apple and showed me the fruit streaked with red and gold like a sunset. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But Hamlet and I feasted on each other’s sight and touch, and we dared to sleep in his bed. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z He would have brought truthful news of Hamlet, but now I would never hear it. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I had to see Hamlet and speak to him. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The players scrambled for their instruments and struck up a wavering tune while Hamlet dashed among the crowd, trying in his manic way to restore their festive spirits. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “You know the saying, Horatio, that the friend in need is a friend indeed. Be Hamlet’s friend. And always be wary of Claudius. Your good heart is but a slight shield against his great wickedness.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I will produce a stronger proof. Let us set my daughter in Hamlet’s way, and we will secretly observe their meeting.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet’s intent was only to protect me. My dear son. Pity his madness! Poor Ophelia, forgive him and forgive me!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then she pressed her shoulders back so that her breasts swelled forth, and looking from Hamlet to Horatio, she sighed at length. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Had I succeeded in dissuading Hamlet from revenge? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I do not dream! I see the face of Lord Hamlet on this youth, overspread with Ophelia’s beauty and her truth,” he says in a tone of wonder. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I imagined that Hamlet, restored to himself, would learn from Horatio that I lived. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I thought of his distress after my scene with Hamlet in the foyer. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Finally, I scolded him, “You’re not Sir Laurence Olivier playing Hamlet, you know. All I want are the facts and how you felt. Not a theatrical production.” From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler 1967-01-01T00:00:00Z "Oh, we do indeed ken it. In fact you might tell him that our Mr. Shakespeare has found his book invaluable. As you may have noticed, Hamlet is a very master of melancholy." The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z Young men in their stylish doublets and fine hose all reminded me of Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Had my play, like Hamlet’s that touched on the king’s murder, been a dangerous folly? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Then let us close the curtain on this scene,” said Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “And I can do nothing to save Hamlet. He is lost to me, as well as to you.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “In the ten days since our marriage night was disrupted, my wedded joys are all turned to sorrow. Now Hamlet finds quarrel with my virtue, but there is no cause.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Not many people do,” said Mrs. Baker “Even Hamlet waited too long.” The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z And loyal confederates, Hamlet and I never revealed that we were authors of this tragicomedy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet sensed my hurt and looked up from his writing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I longed yet feared to see Hamlet, remembering our loving words and our embracing on the battlement, Had that night changed everything between us? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I worried that she had searched my trunk, where my tokens and letters from Hamlet were hidden. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Yes! We will feign love to hide love. This is a paradox I will act with pleasure,” said Hamlet, leaning in to kiss my throat, where my heartbeat was visible. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Did the masks signify the disguises Hamlet spoke of wearing? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z After Hamlet’s play broke off and the audience dispersed, worried and whispering, the night turned even more foul. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When Hamlet appeared, carrying the herbs I had dropped, I uttered a small cry, like a child delighted to be found. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I also despaired because Hamlet had not come to me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It would not suit our game for me to be seen looking for Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Yes, and now you will tell me that desire turns men into beasts,” said Hamlet with scorn. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My bodice and skirt lay draped over a branch of the tree on the bank, at a distance I would not cross under Hamlet’s gaze. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I told her about our atomic bomb drills and about our town and about The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z When I open my eyes again, Hamlet’s solemn little face is before me, and his fingers are tangled in my hair. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z "Everything. Maybe you'll remember that Beowulf fought a monster. Maybe you'll remember that 'To be or not to be' is Hamlet, not Macbeth. . . . "But everything else? Eleanor & Park 2013-02-26T00:00:00Z “On the contrary, nothing would suit Polonius’s ambitions better than for you to marry me,” said Hamlet coolly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet laughed, rubbing his palms together with satisfaction. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When Hamlet arrived one summer, dark-skinned from some adventure upon the seas, Gertrude embraced him and petted him as if he were still a boy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Was Hamlet, too, an actor in Claudius’s malevolent plot, forced into the role of villain on the stage of his mother’s room? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z After some searching, I found them rehearsing in the castle foyer, Hamlet directing their actions. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z After Hamlet was gone, I searched my memory of all our meetings. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “And you could not tell Hamlet of your discovery, for he was immediately sent away,” said Horatio, grasping the situation at once. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Good day, Lord Hamlet,” I said, inviting him to be gone. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z How could there be sin in loving Hamlet in truth and faith? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I followed Hamlet through a maze of corridors to a far tower in a wing of the castle where I had never been. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I have been thinking, daughter. It was not wise of me to put you in Hamlet’s path. My intent for your advancement, and my own, was foiled.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Our plot was to unfold at the banquet celebrating the twentieth year of King Hamlet’s rule. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My skin prickled as Hamlet told how he, too, beheld the ghost of his dead father, armed from head to toe. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I did not. It was not,” said Hamlet loudly and with an offended tone. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The letter bore, alas, Horatio’s news of the death of Hamlet and the ruin of all Denmark. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When one of his companions announced Hamlet's coming, my brother hastened to the courtyard and I followed upon his heels. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet started up and spoke with sudden passion. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “We were right, Ophelia, to fear the consequences of Hamlet’s play. You and I are in danger if we stay at Elsinore. Escape with me and we will join Hamlet,” Horatio pleaded. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Watch! Now you shall see how the murderer gets the love of the king’s wife,” Hamlet said bitterly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet had left for Germany to study at the university in Wittenberg. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But Hamlet was in no mood for such a mild touch. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The director is understanding—it’s Hamlet and Xavier is playing Laertes, so there are plenty of scenes that can be run without him there. Every Day 2012-08-28T00:00:00Z I doubted that Claudius would send Hamlet away simply to protect him from justice in my father’s death. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet was now alone, or so he believed himself to be. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Wary of approaching Hamlet, I hid myself beneath a nearby table covered with a long carpet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Musicians and attendants led the way as Hamlet passed through the gates on a gray mount with a black braided mane. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I did not want to believe that Hamlet could be so cold and remorseless in his actions. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Others declared openly that it was an insult to the prince and to King Hamlet's memory. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I had been disappointed in my attempt to gain Hamlet’s attention on his birthday. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “No, I must give it to Hamlet, for it proves the ghost an honest one.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Where he poaches my father’s game in his absence, the thief,” interjected Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Now the king’s suspicions are aroused, and he is as dangerous as a baited bear. It is bad enough that Hamlet rages like a madman.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z He has a terrific voice, and he's a helluva handsome guy, and he's very nice to watch when he's walking or dueling or something, but he wasn't at all the way D.B. said Hamlet was. The Catcher in the Rye 1951-07-16T00:00:00Z “I will have the children read Hamlet as soon as it is practical. There are some useful cautions against eavesdropping to be gleaned from that. In the meantime, we shall deal with the squirrels.” The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling 2011-01-25T00:00:00Z Hamlet cried, and staggered as if pierced by a sword. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Vexed and annoyed, I cried out to the absent Hamlet, “You are a knave indeed to abuse me so with your lies and promises! You are not worthy of my love!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Sometimes the king joined them, and I saw Hamlet’s father grow dark with disapproval at their lightness. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I did not doubt that Hamlet’s sword mistook its mark for Claudius. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I think I can still live a happy life, Meryl Lee, even if I don’t read the boring parts of The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.” The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z In the spring we studied King Lear and Hamlet. Drama High 2013-09-26T00:00:00Z “Meanwhile,” Hamlet said, “we must find a way to divert the king and your father so that none may suspect our secret deed. Our marriage, I mean.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then Hamlet instructed the priest, taking his Bible and showing him which passages to read. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It had been barely three months since Hamlet and I exchanged our vows in the wood, but it felt like years had passed. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Fragments of Hamlet flickered in his brain: If it be not now, yet it will come. The Killer Angels: The Classic Novel of the Civil War 1974-01-01T00:00:00Z “Hamlet cried out to the ears of everyone present tJiat he loved you.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet, I warned you that I cannot bear your teasing today, is your lightness a ploy to put me off from you? Tell me in plain words that you regret our embracing!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The next day I decided to linger near the place where the actors gathered and hope to gain Hamlet’s attention. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I demanded, suppressing my rising fear that Hamlet was dead, slain by Claudius. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Why had he been in the queen’s chamber, spying on her and Hamlet? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I once hoped for Hamlet’s return, but it comes too late,” I said sadly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Three times during the day I looked for a message from Hamlet, an invitation to join them, but I was disappointed. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z If I were carrying a child, it would soon become evident, and Claudius might suspect Hamlet to be the father. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Shakespeare had Horatio to say some beautiful words as he stood over the dead body of Hamlet. While the World Watched: A Birmingham Bombing Survivor Comes of Age during the Civil Rights Movement 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Hamlet did not contend with me but loosened his embrace, and his ardor cooled like an ember when the wind ceases to blow. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I weighed her spiteful words about Hamlet’s love. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Does he remember this long-ago gesture, how he consoled me when Hamlet disdained my gift? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Yes, murdered. Claudius was the serpent who stung my father,” Hamlet said, agony in his voice and eyes. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet did not greet me, nor did our eyes meet I was disappointed yet relieved, for I would have blushed and stammered had he spoken to me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “It was the king’s order. Most likely, for Hamlet’s own safety.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Still holding it, he kneels, putting himself eye to eye with young Hamlet, and bows as if offering allegiance to him. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My envious fingers traced the routes my brother and Hamlet traveled in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I tell her I will trust in his kindness now, for I must dwell in the house of today, where little Hamlet plays in all the innocence of childhood. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z At that moment Hamlet drew up on his horse and reached out to grip Horatio’s hand and salute Laertes. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It was his birthday, and Hamlet, together with the king and queen, was parading through the countryside and village.

Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z With King Hamlet’s death, the state of Denmark was in a like manner shaken to its foundations and chaos took the place of order. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Even if I were to regain Hamlet’s love, what safety would I find with him, as long as he sought Claudius’s life, and Claudius his? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Only twice did I share the stage with our Hamlet, Mr. Burbage, and then only to work out where I was to move and on what line. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z But alas, I would have bartered my high estate to be plain Jill to Hamlet’s Jack. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I breathed their scent to calm my roiled thoughts, even while I prayed for Hamlet to appear. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z If they want to, they shouldn’t waste their time trying to peck one out accidentally but should instead evolve into something that has a better chance of writing Hamlet.

Perhaps the fault lies in the man who trusts only his sight and is a slave to his base desire!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet, absent from me, grew a mystery to me, a masked god with two faces, both of which hid yet another self. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I did not dare to argue with Laertes further, lest he trap me into admitting my love for Hamlet But I would not grant his point. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet does not want a wife, for I only hinder his revenge.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Horatio bowed and took his leave of me, saying he would carry my greetings to Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet would pounce on these agents like a wolf on a pair of ducks. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Absorbed in my rebellious thoughts, I did not mark where my wandering steps took me and found myself in the foyer where I had lately suffered Hamlet's rejection. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet winked at me and wiggled his fingers. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I followed the curve of the bank where Hamlet had watched me swimming when I was still a child. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But the greatest grief is this: Your brother, Laertes, and Prince Hamlet have slain each other with poisoned swords. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z King Hamlet's body was interred beneath the floor of Elsinore's chapel, near his father's bones and those of his father's father. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I beat my fists into my bed in helpless fury that I could not comprehend Hamlet’s behavior. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Moreover, I had trapped myself beneath the table and could neither approach Hamlet nor retreat without being seen. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “No, it was Hamlet, in the flesh and blood,” Horatio said, defying my disbelief. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My tears began to fall, and Hamlet became again the very picture of a loving husband. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z And I would see Hamlet again as often as I could. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet, my husband, this I ask you. Are you honest?” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet then turned to greet me, though he did not try to take my hand. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet’s excitement mounted as the black-robed villain crept from the curtains, holding a vial and praising its rank and poisonous contents. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The principal players, meantime, rehearsed Hamlet endlessly, employing a slightly different version each day, as Mr. Shakespeare deleted or added passages to suit the fancy of the master of revels. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z Laying Hamlet down again, I pick up her writing box, set it on her lap, and hand her the pen. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Since Hamlet’s birth we have lived in a stone cottage near the convent gate. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Fortinbras was no light threat, I knew, for his mission was to reclaim lands that his father had lost to King Hamlet in battle. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hope stirred in me, and I believed that Horatio would succeed in calming Hamlet's madness and reconcile him and my brother. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I will go and live a solitary life; disappear and be Hamlet’s wife—no more!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Yet perhaps Hamlet knew, and he was performing for their benefit. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z In my mind I see the face of Hamlet, his blue eyes reflecting my image like a watery glass. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Did I, unaware, name Hamlet or the king? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The players began to gather their props, but they were not quick enough for Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I regarded the smiling Hamlet, who sprawled on the ground with ease. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet had proved the truth of his love for me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet did not acknowledge my opinion, but went on in his former vein. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It was used by Claudius and formerly by King Hamlet to come and go secretly from Gertrude’s rooms. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I see nothing in this darkness. Alas, Lord Hamlet, I hardly know you, nor do I know myself. Good night.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “After the sleep of death, we waken eternally,” Hamlet continued as if I had not spoken. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I hoped to read of Hamlet’s longing for me in his letters, but they were nothing like sonnets of love. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Baby Hamlet now begins to fuss, and I pick him up and rock him back and forth. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The ghost of Hamlet’s dead father tells him to avenge his murder by killing his uncle. Challenger Deep 2015-04-15T00:00:00Z Hourly I relived my encounter with Hamlet, and the memory brought fresh sorrow. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Then the blind man is deceived, and the woman is an enchantress!” said Hamlet, slapping his thighs for emphasis. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “What ho, Hamlet! Come with me for some sport. Your father will not miss a doe or two.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Prince Hamlet joined the charade, tugging upon the jester until he rebounded like a tennis ball and jumped upon the king’s table, where he commenced singing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet spoke in my ear, sending a shiver down my back. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It seemed that he and Hamlet were imitating each other’s antics. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The only thing old Phoebe liked was when Hamlet patted this dog on the head. The Catcher in the Rye 1951-07-16T00:00:00Z “He grew quite mad. I had to break them apart, and it took much to calm Hamlet again,” said Horatio, and he sighed heavily. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z How reckless and foolish Hamlet was to make this threat, if he knew that Claudius listened! Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The very mention of his uncle caused Hamlet to leap to his feet “Claudius! I could send his soul to hell!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I was learning to tease Hamlet and enjoying it. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “But the very ground has been taken from beneath me,” Hamlet said. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Although many thought you unworthy, I confess that I wished for you to wed Hamlet and become my daughter,” she said, her voice barely audible. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I brooded continually over the timing of Hamlet’s departure and its meaning. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet has spurned my love and hates me,” I said. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet took my hands firmly in his own. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I think of Hamlet’s despair, which was beyond my remedy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z There was a different play each afternoon, and Hamlet would not be presented until Tuesday. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z Not wanting to disturb the sleeping Hamlet, I stay. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When I was sure my absence would not be noted, I slipped behind the pillars that girded the hall, keeping to the shadows until I stood beside Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I scanned the letter, written in Hamlet’s familiar hand. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My anger spent, I asked, “Does Hamlet know that I live?” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The following day the king performed his plot to test the cause of Hamlet’s madness. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet stood there, conversing with the ghost of his father. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z It was late at night and we were in Hamlet's chambers. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z While I read books about love in the confines of Elsinore Castle, the wide world was Hamlet’s school. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “No; it was the king’s pleasure to send Hamlet alone,” she said. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “You are not such a one, Hamlet, for think with what haste you wedded me yesterday. I hesitated, and you spurred me to action,” I said, hoping to divert him to thoughts of love. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z If I could force it back to the smooth highway of common sense, then Hamlet would be himself again. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet once said that Denmark was a prison. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z To please our father, Laertes took every chance to engage in fierce competition with Prince Hamlet He knew that to advance at court, he had to master all manner of sports and combat. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Horatio may be right. The ghost may be a demon sent to plague your mind with grief,” I said, trying to reason with Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I consider how I resisted Hamlet’s revenge, repelled by the violent act he had vowed to commit. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Soon Mother will send word of his birth to the bishop, who will rule on our future, but for now my delight in Hamlet overcomes any fear. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I remembered how I quivered when Hamlet pulled me from the brook and gazed on me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I was ten years old when I first spoke to Prince Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Hamlet’s play puts us in mortal danger,” he said. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The next morning, I ran to my father, pretending distress, and told how Hamlet had come into my room while I sat sewing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then Elnora came to report that Hamlet had sailed to England. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet appeared at the far end of the foyer, conversing with himself in his new and strange fashion. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But I must have spoken too softly, for Hamlet did not seem to hear me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I was determined to make Hamlet, by reasoned thinking, doubt his bloody course of action. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Well,” she began, “there was once a prince of Denmark, named Hamlet....” Bridge to Terabithia 1997-10-21T00:00:00Z The only sound in the room is that of baby Hamlet sucking his fist. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet's eyes, blue as the sky at nightfall, met mine. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I cannot be such a dutiful wife as you are a friend. I will not go to Hamlet.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Again I struggled, until I saw that it was Prince Hamlet who pulled me onto the grassy bank. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z For a moment I was envious of Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I said my vows believing that I would love Hamlet until my death. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Take heart, brave Ophelia, for you and Hamlet alike can boast that you have cheated Claudius of your deaths,” said Horatio with spirit. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I realized then that Hamlet believed it was a man’s lot to be cheated by the woman he loves. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z See, this is the kind of stuff you start to think about when you’re reading Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z In truth, I was tired, for I had been stealing many hours from my rest to spend with Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Before their interview was fully ended, I was on my way to find Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z How would Hamlet treat me, coming upon this unexpected scene? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z "No more do I fear them," the student replied, though his face had gone white as Hamlet's ghost. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z I grasped Hamlet’s forearms to steady myself, and he whirled me around until I screamed with a desperate delight Then he swung me down onto a pile of hay, where I sprawled, breathless and dizzy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I held Hamlet as he took his last breath. He and your brother forgave each other their wrongs. That much I did achieve.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I longed to see Hamlet, but feared to approach him. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But I hesitated, and the opportunity was lost, for Hamlet threw the helmet to the ground with a curse. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “The vital spirit originates here, in-the heart, and is perfected by the lungs, which inspire the blood with air,” Hamlet explained. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet’s sudden departure was strange and unwelcome news. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The jerfalcon which had been given to Lancelot was not property through her moult Like Hamlet she was fat and scant of breath. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z That’s what I think Shakespeare was trying to say about what it means to be a human being in The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z Since King Hamlet’s burial, the chapel had been little used and dust motes drifted in the light beams. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z No doubt he hoped that Claudius would regard me as the cure to Hamlet’s madness. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My brain fries when I try to read Shakespeare, but my English teacher would not accept “my hound hath eaten my volume” as an acceptable excuse for avoiding Hamlet. Challenger Deep 2015-04-15T00:00:00Z With each new hour I started up to find Horatio and tell him I would go to Hamlet Then questions stalled my steps. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It occurred to me, with the force of a revelation, that since Hamlet was now my husband, Gertrude was already my mother. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I turned toward the door, hesitated, turned back, started for the door again—and encountered Sander sweeping from the tiring-room, dressed as Hamlet's mother. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z While I considered how to reply to this lofty idea, Hamlet answered Horatio. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My question was lost in Hamlet’s fresh torrent. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Now Hamlet blushed and stammered, and I could not help but smile. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z This was not the crumbling hermitage where Hamlet and I used to meet Slowly the awareness came to me that I was in Mechtild’s cottage. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But Hamlet’s touch told me that I did not dream. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet reached for my hand and I stood up. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I found Hamlet's conclusion unjust, and forgoing my modest manner, I spoke boldly. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “To the ramparts, Hamlet. It comes! It comes anon!” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet knelt before me in a parody of his marriage proposal. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Little Hamlet is a sprightly child with his father’s dark hair and Gertrude’s gray eyes. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z One collection of coincidences too unlikely to be dismissed in this way is provided by the case of the proverbial monkey accidentally typing out Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Hamlet followed along the bank, mimicking my swimming motions. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Yes, and it says that every hair on our heads is numbered, for we are more precious than any sparrow. Therefore do not fret,” said Hamlet, and with a kiss, I let myself be comforted. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But at the time I blushed furiously to be seen by Hamlet while entangled in a fight with my brother. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I decided I would gently dispute with Hamlet, using my reason to stir doubt within him. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When I heard footsteps in the hall or a knock at my door, I remembered Hamlet coming into my room, his blue eyes flashing with wit, mischief, or desire. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I saw Hamlet enter, a large book in his hand. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Soon I realized that I was greatly mistaken in believing Hamlet and his mother to be alike in their passions. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I gazed just beyond her, as Hamlet had once looked beyond me into the vacant air. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Claudius’s purpose was darker than I had imagined; he had ordered the death of Hamlet, his nephew and son. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I hated Cristiana and her spying minions, and I was furious with Hamlet for believing their false gossip. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Now he has become the young Hamlet’s protector, promising to educate him well. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Those who say so are the enemies of reason and learning,” Hamlet scoffed. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet and I were walking in the king’s orchard, where he often strolled with his advisers. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Never before had a reference of his to Shakespeare’s hallowed Hamlet been ignored and trampled upon with su ch rude indifference. Catch-22 1961-11-10T00:00:00Z I recalled the day so long ago when I was swimming in the brook, free as a fish, and Hamlet came upon me. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It was the sight of his dying mother that spurred Hamlet’s revenge at last. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z It was a simple fact known even to children that to anger a king, even one so good as King Hamlet could mean death. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z My father had seemingly swallowed the bait Hamlet had fashioned. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Would Hamlet consider the verse clever or merely forced? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I imagined the lively scene, the actors and Hamlet devising a comedy to lighten the mood at Elsinore. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I watched as Yorick helped Hamlet turn a somersault before the queen, who clapped to see him tumble head over heels. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z This night Hamlet had revealed, through the play, his knowledge of Claudius’s crime. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Truly I have never seen Hamlet in a blacker mood. His thoughts are dire, and it takes all my wit to reason with him.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet laughed at his own joke, but Horatio had the grace to look uncomfortable. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet spent every hour in the players’ company and I longed to join them. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Then I listened in amazement as Hamlet related how he had gone with Horatio to the parapet last night, to the very place of our embracing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I think of the ghostly visions that stirred Hamlet to revenge, while Therese’s fill her with joy. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Yeah. And I said something about Hamlet taking place in 1400, and that kind of irked him.” Better Nate Than Ever 2013-02-05T00:00:00Z “Hamlet stabbed at the arras in my room, thinking it hid a spy. Alas, it was your father, and now, oh! Now he lies dead.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z When Hamlet thrust his sword through the draperies, slaying Polonius, who was concealed there, I was lost. The Shakespeare Stealer 1998-05-01T00:00:00Z “I must go. You, Horatio, are Hamlet’s sole hope now. Go to him. He may yet heed you, whom he trusts more than anyone living.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet took my hand again and put it to his lips. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet greeted the young tumbler with an embrace and welcomed all the men, slapping their backs and shaking their hands. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Had grief for King Hamlet weakened her mind? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z But humility was far from my mind, filled as it was with Hamlet’s praises. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Up to now I never quite knew what Shakespeare meant when he made Hamlet say:— Dracula 1897-05-26T00:00:00Z My father directed me to return Hamlet’s gifts and speak nothing that would encourage his attentions. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I was not wrong to condemn Hamlet’s vengeance, for murder is no godly deed. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z And so he did, the insubstantial presence in the fog once again becoming the solid figure of Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “You know, I am the heir of Denmark—” began Hamlet, as if I had forgotten. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I crossed my arms and shivered at the memory of Hamlet’s book, with its drawings of the corpse laid open, the vital parts within revealed like a pirate’s booty in a torn sack. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z As you can tell, Mrs. Baker had me reading The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark for May—which I think was punishment for taking off April. The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z She has been my steady friend, like Horatio to his Hamlet. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z The voice of Hamlet shouts, “What is this, a rat?” and his laughter echoes in a vast chamber. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I could just see the edges of Hamlet’s hair, lit by the moon. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I thought of Hamlet's anatomy book that showed a skeleton laid bare beneath the skin, a grim reminder of waiting Death. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z So Hamlet and I were married in our rustic attire, with woodland flowers to deck us. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Had we but spoken after my father’s death, he would know that I had seen evidence—the poison vial—that could convict Claudius, bringing a just revenge that would leave Hamlet’s own hand unbloodied. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Like a rude commoner watching performers on some village green, Hamlet commented loudly throughout the play. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet’s frown deepened and his dark eyes searched my face. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Why would Hamlet return to Denmark, I wondered, and put himself within the reach of the murderous Claudius? Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Her face was now directed toward the dark corner where Hamlet and I stood, but her gaze was impassive and unseeing. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Ophelia, such a course would be vain and dangerous. Claudius is more canny that you know. For proof, I have important news from Hamlet.” Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z I turned aside from Hamlet's lips after one chaste kiss, and we parted for the night. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Hamlet said with an intensity that made the veins in his temples stand out In a strange passion himself, he seemed desperate to control the players, their every movement and word. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I do not need to be rescued,” I said, though I shuddered to think of the harm Edmund would have done me had Hamlet’s appearance not frightened him off. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I hear that Lord Hamlet has created a most exciting entertainment this night,” Cristiana said, speaking aside to me with her hand held to her mouth. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “Learn from Hamlet’s example that madness, like a lodestone, draws danger to itself!” he said as loudly as he dared in our secret room. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z Never again, I thought, would I pass this way with the anticipation of delight in Hamlet’s company. Ophelia 2006-10-31T00:00:00Z “I will consider your words, Ophelia, for they are weighted with wisdom,” said Hamlet, closing the anatomy book and ending our discussion.
