After Hamlet breaks Ophelia’s heart, she chooses to end her life. She drowns in a beautiful and symbolic manner, departing from the world while surrounded by the beauty found in nature, as the excerpt from Hamlet that quotes Queen Gertrude shows. Then, after her death, she is decanted into a Brave New World. She struggles in the new world, as her emotions go back and forth. She loves the indifference soma grants her, but hates the lack of purpose her lack of feelings leaves her with. She tries to allow herself to become an object of sexual desire, as women are expected to do in this society. This only pushes her to deluge deeper into her addiction to the twisted community, in which she spends day and night high. The society corrupts her beauty and femininity by objectifying her. Rather than finding beauty in the person’s emotions, the Brave New World homogenizes women so that they all fit one standard of beauty. This does away with their individualism, making them objects rather than people. Finally, Ophelia can’t take it anymore. She begins to feel the human push for purpose: for God, for mistakes, for sin, just as John did. Ophelia is stuck between her human desire to feel and her love of being free from the pain she knows feelings create. However, in society, feeling is not an option. Feeling is a sickness cured by drugs. This pushes her to kill herself once again. This time, however, her death is not beautiful or made to seem important. Rather, it seems as if the author needed a fast way to finish the book. Her death definitely does not receive the attention and care that the end of a human life should receive. Is this because she was dehumanized to the point that her death truly did not mean the end of a human life? The question this blog poses: Is it better to suffer the pains of being human or to feel nothing at all?

Random people: Rock bottom :

random-people:

Every day she loses it more. That sense of normalcy. The feeling that everything is going to be fine. The control over her emotions. It has been happening for a while. Every day is just another step backwards. Every day she is certain this day is going to be the day on which she hits rock bottom,…

If you're looking for love, get a heart made of steel 'cause you know that love kills. Don't go messing with love, it'll hurt you forever - don't you know that love kills?

"Without your love, seems so dead and unreal And now there’s nothing left to feel Someday we’ll meet..."

“

Without your love, seems so dead and unreal
And now there’s nothing left to feel
Someday we’ll meet again - girl that much I know
At heaven’s gate we’ll say hello
Now I hear the wind is calling my lonely
Lonely lonely soul
For sorrows trembling hands please let me go

Love’s dying sin is just dust in the wind
I face the other side of no tomorrow
