Blog Post #12: Hamlet - Character Selection

I am interested in following Hamlet from Ophelia's point of view due to her innocence and air of ambiguity. Ophelia has an outsiders view into Hamlet's world which makes her extremely "social media worthy" due to the fact that she can provide a different sort of perspective than any of the men in this story can. No other characters have the same chemistry as Ophelia and Hamlet. Although Hamlet does not have an ideal relationship with his mother and is often difficult with women, they are in love and Hamlet shows a more vulnerable side with her that he is not able to show any of his other associates. Ophelia's ambiguity would also be intriguing to interpret myself rather than the other characters who's whole story is already laid out. She is a smaller character and not a lot is told about her, leaving room for the me to fill in the blanks on my blog.
