Hamlet And Othelia Essay, Research Paper

Ophelia, in this tragedy many see her as just Hamlet?s lover, a character who

is selfish in not helping Hamlet when in need, or just a psycho lover with a lot

of problems. What if the story was twisted so that the play wasn?t a tragedy

and actually turned into a love story due to Ophelia? This is how I would have

written it if I were William Shakespeare. Ophelia who was Hamlet?s love in the

play would have recognized the reason for Hamlet?s madness, taken the

situation in to her own hands in order to stay with Hamlet, and would have

solved all the problems that makes this play a tragedy. When Hamlet first

realizes who has killed his father he starts to plan his revenge. In the

beginning of the play Ophelia recognizes that Hamlet is having problems and

forms an opinion, which hints to hamlet being mad or insane. She doesn?t

really pay attention to Hamlet?s real needs and purpose for being upset. What

should have happened is. Hamlet would of let Ophelia know the truth about

Claudius so that Ophelia would have a better understanding of where Hamlet is

coming from. By recognizing this first, many problems in the original tragedy

wouldn?t have taken place. With Ophelia aware of the murderer, she takes

matters into her own hands due to her love for Hamlet. Secretly she kills

Claudius, but the cause for his death is unknown. Hamlet is the only person

besides Ophelia who knows who the culprit is. This is kept a secret between the

two and their love is what keeps the secret from getting out. All the little

tragedies within the original tragedy are what make it such a great tragedy, but

if I were to make this into a love story these wouldn?t be necessary. By

eliminating Claudius secretly. Hamlet?s revenge is no longer necessary. Hamlet

does not end up killing Polonius in his mother?s quarters. Ophelia has no

reason to go insane, Laertes seeks no revenge on Hamlet, and Claudius is not

there to help get rid of Hamlet. Without all of these situations in the play

Hamlet becomes king and is able to give his love to the people of his kingdom,

and Ophelia. Hamlet and Ophelia are not King and Queen and the King Hamlet, the

Ghost, is content with the present. These events are what make it a love story

instead of tragedy and everyone lives happily ever after. I chose Ophelia to be

the reason why Hamlet is still alive because all the other characters are

recognized more often in the play, and I feel that Ophelia would be the person

least suspected for the murder of Claudius. By having her recognize Hamlets

problems and goals, taking them into her own hands for Hamlet, and being the

reason why all the other little scandals and deaths don?t take place, this

play can now be called a love story. Hamlet does not die and there for it cannot

be called a tragedy, and this play is still a great play because it has love,

mystery, and because William Shakespeare wrote it. Ophelia, in this tragedy many
