Depression Blog #3
Oh my dear Ophelia. Forgive me for my craziness. As I once said “I lov’d Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not (with all their quantity of love) make up my sum.” (5.1.280-281) and I told you too, "I did love you once." (3.1.115) People grow and we change as seasons go, I cannot promise you a love that everlasting, but I promised you my love at that moment on that day. Please forgive me for losing your trust, but don’t say I never loved you. You should know that I did, but like I said people change and it never will be the same.

What?! I cannot believe my ears. How dare you say such things mother? How dare you speak up like that and tell the world you love Claudius? Where is the love you had for my father? I feel betrayed, and I’m sure my father feels the same way. You deserve to be happy, but not if this is the way you do it. There should have been all “… forms, motes, shapes of grief.” (1.2.82) I’ve had enough. I don’t believe a single word you say, I don’t believe your “love” as you call it for Claudius is true. “Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet.” (1.2.118) In my eyes, you’re nothing but a betrayer, not a mother who’s supposed to love me.

He hasn’t been himself recently and while I know that the death of his father is weighing heavily on his mind I think it’s time that he puts it behind him and move on with his life.” What mother says this about her son, right after losing his father? That one man who I honestly and truly could trust without doubting? Mother, I have always loved you, but I think you’re losing it. “Have you forgot me?” (3.4.15) you asked me. Yes mother, I think I have. I can’t no longer see the real you, who you used to be. “You are my mother.” (3.4.15) but you’re not really there anymore.

Woe is Hamlet? #1
How dare you call me your son? I will never stand next to you as your son or anything close to that. You betrayed your own brother, whom loved you dearly. I am his son, not yours. “A brothers murder” (3.3.38) that’s what you are Claudius, nothing but a cold hearted murderer. “A villain kills my father” (3.3.79) and expect me to live with that, and do nothing? No, that’s not how I do it. You don’t have the right to be here, and one day you’ll realize that and you’ll see the truth. When you’re finally gone and don’t have a choice.

Spying, Gentlemen!
Just like my mother you too believe I have fallen too hard, and mourning over my father’s death is inappropriate. You say it isn’t healthy for me to grief over it. I tell you wrong. The process of getting oneself back onto their feet is up to each individual. “…you must know your father lost a father/that father lost, lost his…” (1.2.89-90) you said to me. Of course I am well aware of this, but that does not change this situation. You ask my old and dear friends to come here, tell them to lie and not tell me the truth why they’re here. “My lord, I came to see your father’s funeral.” (1.2.176) Yeah right, we all know they did not come for that reason. My uncle things I’m crazy and that’s all there is.

Ophelia’s Criticism
I could not disagree more with what you’re saying Claudius. It was not the lack of people in the castle surrounding Ophelia that made her “crazy” She was a very fine young woman and could without a problem stand on her own feet and didn’t rely on anyone. You didn’t know anything about mine and Ophelia’s relationship so don’t dare speak about it. You only heard and believed what Polonius told you, “At such time I’ll loose my daughter to him.” (2.2.163) you’ve heard the words “Honest, my lord?” so why is it that hard for you to go through with it.
