revenge. Had it not been for her, maybe Hamlet would have never met his demise.

#falzham7_4 I believe Ophelia served as the"bow" that wrapped all aspects of the plot together in the play. She served as Hamlet's love interest and Polonius's daughter; after the latter died she went insane and triggered her brother's hatred towards Hamlet and his thirst for +

@DemarraisRiley #falzham7_4 it's almost as if these soliloquies serve as a coping mechanism for Hamlet. He is able to "vent" to the audience and come out of it stronger. They also help the play by instilling the classic Shakespearean dramatic irony, which is very present throughout this play.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

The one thing these three plays have in common (other than their author) is that the dynamics of the final scenes change rapidly right before the ending. That way ending the play with the audience at the edge of their seats every time.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

#falzham7_4 IV, II is shorter than usual, yet it's not the first scene like that. The dynamicity of this scene matches Hamlet's quickly-changing mental state. This is a very interesting stylistic choice we see throughout most (if not all) of Shakespeare's plays +

We see it in Othello when Othello murders Desdemona and then proceeds to kill himself. We also see it in Macbeth when we see what little sanity he has left fade away right before his last duel against Macduff. +

#falzham7_2 It is clear that Ophelia is not an independent character at all. She is always being used by someone (most of the time her father, Polonius), which may be a critique/representation for the lack of female freedom in English society at the time.

To be slowly drifting into insanity. However, it could be part of his plan too, since is shown to clearly have the smarts to come up with a plan and follow through with it. Due to this, the audience is never really sure whether he's clinically insane, or just pretending to be.

#falzham7_1 I believe Hamlet is very witty and quick on his feet, he has the perfect responses to everything and seems to not care how others perceive him, although in act one we see him talking poorly of himself by using very self-deprecating language and adjectives, he appears

#falzham7_3 I believe Gertrude is extremely smart, this is because she listened to Hamlet and married quickly in order to protect herself. Clever if you ask me.

@EdithPo5 #falzforetold207 The style of narration of this story plays upon the idea of "two sides to every story," that way exposing just enough detail with certainty, but leaving a lot up to interpretation.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

#falzforetold207 Garcia Marquez does an excellent job of leaving just the right details for speculation. Yes, we knew Nasar was going to die since the beginning, but that didn't take any of the mystery and suspense away from other parts of the story.

@JustinK46021548 #falzforetold207 This type of inconsistencies are seen all throughout the book with the different perspectives we are given as the story unfolds. The motif of weather may even have deeper implications to those of guilt, but it is primarily centered around that idea.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

@LizzieFarrell15 @sofiasafi11 #falzforetold207 This is proven by the immense guilt the brothers felt after the "deed" had been done. They were just trying to live up to their societal expectations; they were not the bad guys, society was.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

#falzforetold207 I think Santiago Nasar was innocent of the sin he was condemned for, given that at first he's introduced wearing a white suit (purity!), and then when he hears about his fate, his shocked reaction does not fit that of someone who is guilty.

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

@LizzieFarrell15 @ryanfra89089949 @ChrisCody345 @JustinK86096767 Especially with all that pain and hardship we saw him go through as he threw away all of his relationships with his family members. It may have been a way for him to remain connected to a time when everything was good (his youth). #falzfences207

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

The fence may symbolize the barriers Troy and Cory put up in their relationship which is what ultimately led them to grow apart. Regardless, Cory was able to “get to the other side,” which may be a metaphor for his coming back home for his dad’s funeral. #falzfences207

[Victor Esteche @VictorEsteche4]

@sofiasafi11 #falzfences207 Is Troy holding Cory back from success or from failure? Sure he wasn’t the best father but then again most parents love their children regardless

@Jessica18505625 @LizzieFarrell15 @AnnabelCarifa His cheating might’ve just been a way to escape responsibility and commitment, which is what we see him do throughout the play. He ruined a perfect marriage because he didn’t know how to act or react properly.
