Ophelia Entry

         We are gathered here today to remember Ophelia, Polonius’ daughter.  Ophelia was a pretty, young girl who seemed to get along with everyone she met.  She was as sweet as can be, an angel.  She was the same angel who stole Hamlet’s heart.   As Ophelia and Hamlet became closer, Ophelia’s father told her not to see Hamlet and she obeyed him.  Some say this was the beginning of Hamlet and Ophelia’s downfall.

          It is understood that many girls who go through a death in the family as well as a break up tend to lose their grasp of reality.  For Ophelia it seemed as if she just gave up on trying to fix her life for the better.  If we all had known what you (Ophelia) were thinking and going through, we all would have helped you.  We care about you and now that you are gone, we all have to mourn and try to keep our spirits up.  We will not lose ourselves in sadness; we will stay afloat because we want to set an example for those who feel it is the end of the world.  We don’t want other loved ones passing away.  Watch over us Ophelia and help us make the right decisions.  Rest in peace.
