In the end, she was attracted by the props and costumes and Ophelia's character.

The opening account of the heroine makes it clear: I was a willful girl and followed my heart and spoke my mind. And it's high time that I tell you my story myself.

Based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as the background of the story, it is adapted to tell the story from the perspective of Ophelia.

The female protagonist’s opening confession made it clear that she is not the same Ophelia as the [beautiful and fragile] [kind and innocent] Ophelia in the traditional story.

【read】

She is not a nobleman. Her father is a minister. She has lost her mother since she was a child. She is dressed exactly like a boy, even more [boyish] than her brother: unkempt and unkempt. She yearns for knowledge, loves to read, and runs after her brother who is going to school. In the end, she shows a look of loss because the woman can't enter the reading room or go to class. But luckily she has a good brother. Before entering the classroom and reading room, his brother said to her: I will teach you later.

【Her sharpness is within.】

Harmlet was asked to compare swords by his uncle and said: I prefer not to learn at the point of a sword. My sharpness is within.

I think this sentence is also very appropriate to describe Ophelia.

She is not a cowardly person.

Although she was squeezed out by other jokes about the queen's laydies in waiting: poor people, can't afford to wear jewelry and only wear flowers, love to roll in the mound, dance like a goat, figure and so on.

The queen knew this and used the analogy of cockfighting, saying that when she lived in the monastery, she discovered that where there were women, there was this kind of exclusion, like every chicken would choose the weaker one to peck at each other.

But Ophelia is not weak, she is smart, brave, upright, and open-minded.

She never replied, or cared about with the maid who laughed at her, until the maid revealed the death of Harmlet, she was really angry for the first time and acted with her, showing a fierce look.

She has never been afraid of those maids, she just has different pursuits and hobbies from them, she doesn't want to care about or fight with them.

【She surprised me】

Ophelia surprises me with two points:

First,

She was hit by harmlet and horatio who came out to fish while swimming in the water.

When Harmlet heard that she was one of the queen's waiting ladies, he wanted to tease her: then she will not mind waiting till I catch a fish.

Harmlet and our audience are probably waiting for ophelia to beg for mercy shyly.

But she didn't. She moved forward step by step and smiled provocatively at the prince:

Of all the ladies, I'm least fond of waiting.

There are two sides stuggleing in you.

One is baser, one better.

the second,

Although she had thought of dying for harmlet

But in the end, when she failed to persuade Harmlet to leave with her, she did not cry, make troubles and hang himself, begging Harmlet to leave with herself, nor did she choose to die for Harmlet.

She said to harmlet: [not every story need to end with a battle]

She fought for love, but she was not blind by hatred.

She told Hamlet the truth. In order to save herself and Hamlet, she did her best: escape the dungeon, pretend to be crazy, plan to fake death, find harmlet.

She forgave harmlet for killing her father by mistake

Persuade harmlet not to be invited to a duel with his brother

But in the end, when she could not persuade Hamlet to let go of her hatred, she did not choose to die with harmlet for love. She was full of tears, but resolutely left the court, left all the conspiracy and disputes of love, hatred, and fled to the monastery. begin a new life.

In this unsolvable cycle of hatred, letting go is more courageous than facing.

Tucao [Uncle]-Winning is cruel, and also losing is cruel.

I don’t know if he overestimated his charm, or underestimated the female & motherhood (it’s also great to kill harmlet in front of the queen)

Tucao [Hamlet]——Big brother, can you plan for revenge? Can you tell you uncle that you know the truth and plan to kill him? Can you not jump into such an obvious trap (and promised to fight Ophelia brother, In the end, winning or losing is a terrible defeat, brother).

I haven't read the original, so Hamlet is so mindless. Can't you pretend to be stupid, flee to the relative's house next door and then rise again to overthrow his uncle? To deal with such a cruel and cruel person, I actually choose a person to gang up front. This role is too simple.
