Crashing Down

My heart broke for Hamlet when I saw his face as he received the news. He had no idea that Ophelia- the love of his life- was dead. He didn't even get a chance to really tell her how he felt. He was too caught up acting and scheming and then that brute Claudius tried to send him away to his execution in England! Poor Ophelia left the earth believing that Hamlet was sick of her and never loved her. I tried to comfort Hamlet while he hid in the woods, but he was so enveloped in the situation that he didn't even notice me. I'm sure nothing could really help, anyway. The only way he will get any closure is to face Laertes and straighten everything out. I hope Hamlet will handle the situation with Laertes honorably, even though he is trying so desperately to defeat him.
