Ophelia Entry #3
Today I found out that Hamlet went to go see the ghost that looked like the king. Hamlet had followed his father directions and the Ghost had told him that he was not killed by a poisonous snake, but he had been poisonous murder by Claudius by putting poison in his ear while he was sleeping and Hamlet swear that he will get revenge. The guards asked Hamlet what happened and Hamlet asked them to swear to not tell anyone about what they are about to hear from Hamlet and not to say anything if he starts acting weird.
Polonius' Advices To Laertes
- Don’t say what you’re thinking, and don’t be too quick to act on what you think.
- Be friendly to people but don’t overdo it.Once you’ve tested out your friends and found them trustworthy, hold onto them. But don’t waste your time shaking hands with every new guy you meet.
- Don’t be quick to pick a fight, but once you’re in one, hold your own.
- Listen to many people, but talk to few. Hear everyone’s opinion, but reserve your judgment.
- Spend all you can afford on clothes, but make sure they’re quality, not flashy, since clothes make the man—which is doubly true in France.
- Don’t borrow money and don’t lend it, since when you lend to a friend, you often lose the friendship as well as the money, and borrowing turns a person into a spendthrift.
- And, above all, be true to yourself. Then you won’t be false to anybody else.

Ophelia Entry #1
My family and I went to the funeral of the King of Denmark and then stay to listen to the speech of the new king, Claudius stating his wedding to the widow queen, Gertrude and that we should move on and forget about the dead king. Later, I see Hamlet very upset about the death of his beloved father and I wish I would have comfort him in his depression. Then Hamlet's friends came and told him about his father's ghost and he can't wait to go with the guards to see the ghost of the king.
Ophelia
Polonius’s daughter, a beautiful young woman with whom Hamlet has been in love. A sweet and innocent young girl, Ophelia dutifully strives to obey her father and her brother, Laertes, allowing Polonius to use her in his scheme to spy on Hamlet. When her father dies, her sanity unravels, and in her madness she paints a scathing picture of young men as sexually exploitative and unfaithful, and her mad speeches about flowers conceal implied condemnations of Claudius and Gertrude.
