Hamlet post 2

Upon reading different Shakespeare play's, it sees as if all the love stories end horribly. It makes you think what happened to Shakespeare in his life that these stories end the way they do. Stories such as Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Hamlet all seem pretty consistent. There is always a barrier keeping the higlighted couples from seeing each other. However, they do get to interact throughout the play. The fact that Shakespeare always puts his couple at a disadvantage could signify the importance of communication in a relationship. I do think it is weird that all of these love couples have to deal with death. It seems to give Shakespeare a darker tone. We tend to think of love of happy and bright but this isn't the case in these stories. We see in other plays that people have to deal with the death of a lover. We will see if this too is the case with Hamlet and Ophelia.
