Character Choices

On Friday Brady and I acted out our mini scene from Hamlet. We chose the scene right after Hamlet's main "To be or not to be" Soliloquy. In the scene Ophelia approaches Hamlet while he is going mad. I chose to play Ophelia sweet and concerned in the beginning of the scene. I was truly genuine with Hamlet and obedient to him. But as the scene grew on I began to question him, and through my suspicions I grew more eager, to know his true intentions. By the end of the scene my goal was to make him feel terrible, by showing him that he hurt me and truly deceived me. So in the beginning i tried to act sweet, concerned, and naive to the situation, and as the scene went on I grew in anger and had an eagerness to get him to be hurt.
