HAMLET ESSAY

Why is it people change? Could it be because they mentally want to or because of the emotional situation they’re being placed in? Truth is the majority of the time, it’s situations that swithes up their emotions either in a good or bad way. This is considered a Dynamic character, a character changing throughout the situations it goes through in life, lessons they are to be taught. In the play of Hamlet we come upon insane characters, the character I thought had more of an impact in this play was Ophelia. Ophelia changed throughout the play, becoming a dynamic character in a tragedy way.
       Ophelia is considered a dynamic character because in the beginning of the story, she is presented as a loving,caring,innocent young women that so much wanted to please her father and Hamlet,no matter the affection it may cause her. Ophelia is like a pet, she does as she is told to by her father and brother. She’s madly in love with Hamlet , she so loving and caring for Hamlet,not knowing the truth of Hanlets way of thinking.
       As Ophelia starts to become more open and cautious, she realizes truths of Hamlet. Ophelia starts to become insane, therefore starts singing instead of speaking her mind. She becomes mad at Hamlet, Hamlet’s reason to not love a women started when the inciting incident is present on the play, the appearance of the ghost. Hamlet drives Ophelia insane with messing with her reputation. Hamlets dirty talk in a scene asking Ophelia if he could lie his head on her lap causing an uncomfortable feeling for Ophelia, changing her emotional state of mind.
       Throughout these situations Ophelia has faced , thanks to Hamlet, she’s at that point where she is completely going crazy and stressful. Ophelia is overtaken by the feeling of Melancholy, flashing back to Hamlets behavior of women being ‘breeders of sinners’, saying that Hamlet thinks little of women. Ophelia’s mind is lost and in the play we encounter Ophelia climbing a tree, and the tree branch she was at had snapped causing Ophelia to hit the river and drown. We could say that Ophelia could have been suicidal at this point.
         In this play Ophelia’s death, overall reflected the theme and tone of the story because it shows that living in tragedy with bit of importance in your life isn’t worth it, therefore death becoming a solution to that problem. I conclude that Shakespeare had a unique perspective of writing and a unique way of thinking about life in his times of survival. He was a great writer who throughout his writing we can understand his way of thinking and the way he spectated things. In this play, Ophelia’s  personality changes throughout the play due to the things she went through.
