As a little girl growing up, I spent a lot of time with a Hispanic lady because my mother worked all the time. She was like a grandmother to me. I loved to hear her speak of her late husband and how much she loved him. Her voice would change when she spoke of him. She described how she would sit and gaze at him when he perused the newspaper or how she would leave sweet notes in his lunch pail. One story I remember the most was one she told about when he passed away; she thought they would grow old together, and a part of her soul died along with him. She said she loved that man to the moon and...

During Act One Scene Three, we are presented with the growing attraction between the young Hamlet, and Polonius" daughter, Ophelia. However, we learn of this attraction solely through the blunt advice that both Polonius and Ophelia's brother, Laertes, give heavily.

I decided, along with Carol, to perform Act III, Scene I, from Hamlet, when Ophelia obeys her father and tests Hamlet's love for her by returning his remembrances. I thought that this scene was interesting because I liked the anger I interpreted from Hamlet and the shock and sadness that I saw in Ophelia. I interpreted Hamlet as losing his temper because he has been feigning insanity and I think he continued to do so with Ophelia in this scene. Even if he would have made the choice not to act insane with Ophelia, I believe that he sensed Polonius" presence and he definitely would have acted cr...
