{so many more Ophelias here via hannahkristina}

I am obsessed with this image. Growing up, I had a thick collection of plays by Shakespeare and never, ever, did I want to play Juliet. No, no. I only recited the lines of Ophelia... specifically her final scene (what can I say, I was a morbid kid)...over and over.

  3. Can't say I pretended to be Ophelia ... but I do love these images. Time for me to brush up on my Hamlet.

  5. That first image is gorgeous! There's actually a video going around called "Sassy Gay Friend: Hamlet." The premise? Hamlet would have ended much differently if Ophelia had a sassy gay friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnvgq8STMGM Silly, but made me laugh. :)

  6. Ophelia is much more...spunky? smart?...than Julia. I'd rather be her myself.
    Do you like the Millais' Ophelia? I know its very popular, but I still adore it.
