Today was just unsettling. I’m so frightened from Ophelia and what’s going on. Honestly it’s ridiculous how outrageous her actions are. I understand her situation with Hamlet but I mean come on, skipping around with minimal clothes and singing gibberish? And what’s with the rue? So she accuses me of adultery and bitterness when I haven’t done anything to her. In fact, I've tried to help her through this. I’m worried for my life and Claudius’s too. Who knows what this crazy girl will do next?
Then, I saw Laertes accuse my husband of murder! I know it was hamlet but I can’t say anything. How can I help Claudius? Without hurting Hamlet of course. It’s an impossible situation. I fear that without Laertes knowing Hamlet killed Polonius that he will be rash against Claudius or he will find out it was Hamlet and be even rasher. How do I “right” this “wrong”? If I speak I damn Hamlet, if I stay silent I condemn Claudius. Knowing one of them will be hurt how can I ever face my fellow men? Rather, how can I ever face myself again? I don’t know…
