I will be coming back to this concept. We're not done here
#prev as the author! i totally get what youre saying!#and im gonna start with i wrote this in like. 5 minutes and its not the finished product of this idea#but youre actually 100% right because this poem isnt supposed to be about real hamlet and ophelia!!#(trust me im a BIG hamlet feels a LOT person vs ophelia actually cuts off her emotions ALL THE TIME) (see the lay your head in my lap scene#this poem is (at least in how i wrote it) about a girl who worries about her own femininity meaning she has to die as the pretty dead girl#so she tries to reject it all#ignoring that her mother isnt there because hamlets mother is/trying not to go insane about her dad how ophelia does#trying to mourn in a way that isnt her#trying to show her grief in insanity in a way that isnt her#so youre actually right! this poem isnt supposed to be about the characters but about the vast swaths of how the characters are interpreted#(im not trying to be a bitch btw i actually appriciated the chance to talk about my meanings here)
