Coda: How To Read Ophelia's And Hamlet's Soliloquys

Autoplay

Friday afternoon, January 23,2015

If I am not Ophelia, Hamlet, who is?
Tell her, him, and me. I need to know,
hear from you who sit in safety
reading this. How you are reacting
to these soliloquys as I sit here
writing them, bereft of possessions,
in possession of my life only. How do
you read Ophelia's, Hamlet's soliloquys?
Come in; the door is wide open; I'll do
my best to explain why I wrote them.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Since I am the origin of these soliloquys spoken by Hamlet, Ophelia and the other characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet, it makes sense for me to explain why I wrote them, if asked, including their relevance to me and my family members.
