Blog Post 12: Hamlet Character Choice Justification

I choose to follow Ophelia because although she is not the most primary character, she represents so much within the play. Her character emphasizes Hamlet's not-so-great opinion of women and their sexuality. And even though, in Hamlet's eyes, Ophelia does not represent goodness and pureness, she actually does. Ophelia is almost a walking contradiction that represents so many different ideas within the play, and I find that interesting and engaging. Eventually, Ophelia goes insane because of so many tragedies within her life. Ophelia is definitely social-media worthy because of her insanity. She almost reminds me of a stressed-out teenage girl who constantly tweets about how hard school and life are. Ophelia would be an interesting person to "follow" on Twitter or "friend" on Facebook because of her "sexuality," her innocence, and her insanity. Overall, Ophelia will be an interesting character to follow throughout the play.
