Ophelia's Eulogy

Today we are here to say good bye to not only a great daughter but a great person in general. Her name is Ophelia. She made people happy with her wit and charm and with her selflessness. The love she had for other people was displayed through every act. She was thrown into a blender of emotions and did not know how to handle it. Shes wasn't ready and it lead to her tragic death and maybe you dont believe she deserves this but no one deserves it more.

For a girl who's lost so much I wish I could have been there to help get up and walk. Tell her she would have been okay, and that things may have been bad but she could have made it if someone was there for her. I always wonder why no one was? Why didn't anyone ever hug her? Even throw her state of madness she still showed her generosity and her caring for the people she loved.

I sometimes wonder if her state of madness was caused by Hamlet or was it caused by the loss of her father. When she saw Hamlet had lost his mind she was distressed  and the loss of her father bought her to the edge. I'd like to think that she killed herself to save herself from this madness. To bring peace to her soul. Maybe this way she can be happy at rest and than distraught while she was alive.

Poor Ophelia was the example of a wonderful person. She devoted her time to those who did not deserve it or didnt care enough about her. She shouldn't have died alone or without the help of those she loved. Althought mainly known for being Hamlets girlfirend, she was more than that.

I want to say one more time good bye to a sweet hearted girl, who didn't get the chance to live life to the fullest. I wish her much happiness in her new world.

  1. To start off, i like how you made the entire presentation of the Eulogy sound authentic. It's almost as if i could picture a real pastor mourning over Ophelias death. I think that Hamlet was the cause of Ophelias "accidental death". Its only natural that she would lose her mind after going through so much at hand of Hamlets schemes. Overall, I think the way you conveyed your eulogy through emotional appeals was impressive and well done!
