It's Poisoned



Well, I am dead. I was sitting, watching my son fight Laertes, and he was winning. Then the minute I get up to wipe the sweat from his brow and take a drink in his honor something bad happens;I get poisoned and die. How unfair is that? I mean really, I did not do anything and I die. On the flip side though I get to be with my dear husband Hamlet now. I guess there is one positive other positive to be taken from this too, I do not have to go through anymore pain and heartache. That is a good thing, right? Either way what's done is done and I am dead.

I Had Hoped You Would Be My Daughter-In-Law



It was cold and dreary as we traveled to the grave today to lay Ophelia to rest. Laertes was very upset that the priest would not say any last words for his sister. He made such a specticle of himself and I felt terrible for him but I did not know what I could do to help the poor boy, but maybe he just needed to grieve. Then out of no where Hamlet walks up with Horatio and he and Laertes about have it out right then and there. Of course Claudius had it broken up, but Hamlet was very heart broken. He really did love Ophelia whether anyone else thought so or not. I don't know how much more I can take though. I know things are suppose to get worse before they get better but this is ridiculous, you know?

This Has to be the Last Straw..............Right?


My son asked me not to speak of anything to Claudius other than what he told me to and that is exactly what I did. At that point I did not think things could get anyworse and sure enough they do. Following the death of Polonius, Opehlia just could not help he and she went crazy, she simply lost it. I tried to comfort her, but I feared to she was to far gone for anyone to help her. And was I ever right. I just went dow to the river to find her floating in the water, dead. It seemed that she had escaped somehow and had either drowned herself or had gotten tangled up in her cloting and drowned.Either way, the site just broke my heart and Hamlet has been sent away and does not know of her death, if he did I fear it would break his heart. I loved her like I a daughter and now she is gone. Why does it seem like everyone I am close to is dying, I am beginning to feel like it is me. But either way I can not take anymore. My hope is that nothing else happens but we will see.
