Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Indeed, my lord, you
made me believe so.
Ophelia
Hamlet Act III, Scene i, Line 116
This is an exchange between Ophelia and Hamlet. The latter has just said to Ophelia, I did love you once. Of course, in the next line Hamlet’s going to say, I loved you not. It’s mad Hamlet here. Or is he mad? This is at the core of the enigma that is Hamlet; Hamlet the person and Hamlet the play.
It
seems unlikely that we’ll be unraveling this puzzle today. It seems just as
unlikely that we’re going to spend much time trying.
I think for today that we'll just move on.
Fall Risk? Me? Well, this should give you some clue as to why there's been no posts in almost two weeks. And whilst there's more to the story than that, I think we'll leave it at that for now.
We'll just move on.

I'm confused. Hamlet said he loved her once. Ophelia said, that's what you made me think. And then Hamlet said, I didn't love you, bish. Which one is it?
That's the thing, Hamlet appears to be confused, or mad, or both, or neither. An integral part of the play is trying to figure out Hamlet. So if you're confused, well join 400 years of confused Hamlet viewers.
