Colors Colors Colors

If you would kindly notice the change I've made in the hue of my page, you'll see both a dark, passionate red and a cool, and detached gray-blue. These are the two things I try to embody in life. The red, I do like to think, as Hamlet said "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy"(1.5.35). By this, I do believe he means that my belief system and what I would like to think is true about people in general, them being innately good overall, is but a dream. Though, I would believe it until proven otherwise, and passionately so. I am glad that Hammie chose to definitely prove his royal Uncle's guilt before acting too rash, thus taking a step back from his passion, like I do, to try and see truth. I would not enthusiastically encourage the anger and wrath of Hamlet, before or during the play, because I do not believe in rash, vengeful acts. One needs to detach themselves from such violent, colorful emotions. Yet, he is my Prince, so when he asked me if I had seen what he had hoped for, I gave him the answer he had desired from my "heedful note"(3.2.85) of the king's reaction. I can only hope for my Prince that he can also detach himself from the passion of his revenge to see what is right an what is wrong...

  1. Horatio, I must ask why you refer to my beloved Hamlet as “Hammie.” It is an unflattering nickname, and I can assure you he does not like it. But, anyway, I mustn’t focus on your absurd nickname. “By this, I do believe he means that my belief system and what I would like to think is true about people in general, them being innately good overall, is but a dream.” Well, Horatio, if you think all people are innately good, you’ll have to let me know what you think about some of the recent newsworthy events of Denmark. Do let me know. ~~Ophelia
