Act 2- A night in the Elsinore Castle

The Elsinore Castle is becoming quite lonely for me I must say. And yet, watching Hamlet in such a vulnerable state because of his undying love for Ophelia makes me thankful. Hamlet may sometimes appear unusual to the public, partially because he is so expressive in his emotions. He portrays every emotion running through his body and his heart. It is his heart that weakens in Ophelia’s presence. It weakens to suppress his speech and to leave him powerless. In their recent encounter, he could not do anything but hold her, shake her and move his mouth only to speak of nothing. To express his feelings towards Ophelia, Hamlet wrote her a letter and gave it to her personally. Such an action can only make us wonder. The likelihood of love is not questioned but he appears to have all the symptoms of a madman as well.
