Act 4 scene 5

In this scene Ophelia walks in to the room crazed looking, she instantly throws everyone aback at her appearance. Which makes you instantly pity her and made me prepare myself for however she decides to act or anything she’s about to say, to be completely jibersh. The next thing she does is she starts to sing songs that they all know but she mixes up the words and everyone knows she’s not singing it right. I think that was Ophelias way of saying how she feels about everything that has happened to her recently. She refers at one point to the situation with her and Hamlet and cries, and later in the song she gets it messed up and ends up taking about her her father’s death and how it was not handled correctly. I really enjoyed this scene. I liked seeing some more of Ophelia’s character development.
