Hamlet And Ophelia Series Of Events
1,685 wordsThe Madness of Hamlet and Ophelia It was fascinating to look at how many characters in Shakespeare s plays poked at the brink of insanity.

In the plays we read, important characters evolved into madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to see how this series of events would be an ongoing theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the same outcome was to be expec...
