PART II
Hamlet’s girlfriend, Ophelia, is a sweet girl with blond hair. She comes from a middle class family and is rather sentimental. Hamlet finds it rather difficult to talk to her about existentialism but he likes listening to her singing – she has a pleasant voice and always tries to imitate film stars. Although she knows very little about philosophy, Ophelia is very good at computing and typing. She went to an information technology college in London for two years. At present she is secretary to Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. Hamlet is not sure whether he should marry Ophelia or not. He finds it difficult to make up his mind about it. If he marries her, they will probably have children; he will be fully involved in family life and will have little time for philosophy. He will certainly regret it if he gets married. But if he doesn’t, he will be sorry too, for Ophelia is a fantastic girl.
But what does Ophelia think about it? That is the question! How does she feel about marriage? No one knows about that. No one knows what she thinks.
