Relation In Favor Of Books Ophelia

He is Hamlet, Prince of Denmark; she is simply Ophelia. If you think you know their story, think again.

In this reimagining of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, it is Ophelia who takes center stage. A rowdy, motherless girl, she grows up at Elsinore Castle to become the queen's most trusted lady-in-waiting. Ambitious for knowledge and witty as well as beautiful, Ophelia learns the ways of power in a court where nothing is as it seems. When she catches the attention of the captivating, dark-haired Prince Hamlet, their love blossoms in secret. But bloody deeds soon turn Denmark into a place of madness, and Ophelia's happiness is shattered. Ultimately, she must choose between her love for Hamlet and her own life. In desperation, Ophelia devises a treacherous plan to escape from Elsinore forever . . . with one very dangerous secret.

Lisa Klein's Ophelia tells the story of a young woman falling in love, searching for her place in the world, and finding the strength to survive. Sharp and literary, dark and romantic, this dramatic story holds readers in its grip until the final, heartrending scene.

Weigh Up Of Books Ophelia

If I have to choose which one of Shakespeare's tragidies is my favorite I'd hands down and without a doubt choose Hamlet. It's been my favorite tragey by Shakespeare from the moment i got introduced to his works, which was a long time ago.Before reading the book I watched the movie Ophelia, which is not the right thing to do I know. Most of the time I read the book then watch the movie, but I completley forgot that I had this book and that the movie was specifically based on this. Anyway, It was

I won't rehash my love of all things Shakespeare and the particular love i have for his play Hamlet here (although my reading of the particular young adult novel Ophelia by Lisa Klein did prompt a viewing of all six of my various Hamlet dvds for their sundry interpretations~it is always better to view performances than just to read over the text and i felt it all needed slight refreshing so i pulled i started by rereading the text itself then decided to pull out all five of my Hamlet dvds and

To be completely honest, I'm perplexed as to why people were unimpressed. Shakespeare is hard to do, and I think for what it was, she did an amazing job. No, it wasn't perfect. But I think that even attempting a project like this is ambitious, and I think she kind of nailed it, to be frank.It was sculpted wonderfully, had many different emotions coursing through the pages, and left you thinking by the end. Those are three very positive things, and I was impressed. It may have been short, but

2.5 starshere is my essential question: do i love metafiction or do i hate it? i really don't know and this book isn't helping me decide.first off, i was sort of...miffed...by the premise. i am a die-hard hamlet fan (by which i mean i love shakespeare's play, not that i'm about to get a poisoned rapier and go to town). furthermore, i LOVE ophelia. and i don't think shakespeare does her any unnecessary disservice. there i said it. lisa klein's whole premise in writing this story is that she, too,

I realize the author mostly wrote this for herself, intrigued with the idea that there might have been more to Hamlet than meets the eye. It's an interesting concept to think Ophelia might have been faking her insanity and even her death, but I didn't like what the author did with it.Of course, as with many modern novels set in olden times, the author felt the need to drive home the point that Ophelia was a tomboy. I guess many female authors put this trait to their girl characters thinking

Klein took on a pretty steep challenge in re-writing what many would consider to be the greatest piece of literature in the English language, and I'm not sure the results are satisfactory. Yes, the story of Hamlet has been retold many times from Strange Brew to The Lion King to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, but it is another thing to go right into the original and try to retell it from another point of view. I'll tell you right now, this is no Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. That
