=__ HAMLET- World of Woe __= __ Ophelia __ Dear diary, Today the king had a Royal ball at the Castle of Denmark for his son’s birthday. Everyone of importance was there dressed up in suits and ball gowns that reached the floor. I got to go with my father and brother even thou I never actually met the king’s son before. I wore a pink with a bit of white coloured dress that went down to the floor and that had long sleeves and was tight at the waist. The castle was all nicely prepared with lights hung outside and furniture moved to make a big open space to dance. I was so excited but also nervous about going to the ball. I didn’t know anyone else going beside my father Polonius and brother Laertes who have met the royal family a few times before. I spent all day getting preparing and getting ready; I got my hair, makeup and nails done. I love getting dressed up. My brother and father were getting on my nerves a bit though, they kept coming in my room trying to give me the same tips on how to act over and over again. Curtsy when meeting the royal family and when leaving, use proper manners, and behave. I think they forget how old I am sometimes. It was finally time to leave for the ball; I had so many mixed emotions going through my head. We pulled up in front of the castle and there were two guards there who asked for our names and then directed us to the door. The pathway to the door was nicely paved and lit. Also the castle was way bigger than what I expected, I was in amaze. Inside the door was big open lobby where the queen and king greeted us. I was speechless at first when my father introduced us, I felt like I was in a dream. After waiting for a while and meeting more people it was time for the king’s son to arrive. I was disappointed I didn’t get to see the king’s son at first because when he entered a big swarm of people gathered around him. I spent the start of the night mostly with my brother since I didn’t know anyone else. My brother was in the middle of a conversation with a friend so I was just looking around. While I was looking a man manage to capture my eye, he looked so handsome. I kept looking back at him, and one time I saw that he was looking at me so I quickly turned my head. I few minutes later my father comes up behind me and taps me on the shoulder. He said “Ophelia, I have someone I would like you to meet, this is the king’s son Hamlet.” As to my surprise it was the man I was looking at earlier. I was speechless at first but than managed to get some words out of my mouth, I said “hi, nice to meet you Hamlet, hope you’re having a good birthday.” Then he offered us to go for a walk outside and get to know each other. We ended up talking for hours’. We got along so well; laughed at each other jokes, related to each other’s stories, and flirted. He then took my hand and asked “may I have this dance?” we held each other in our arms and danced. It was the best moment in my life. I felt like a teenage girl again, where nothing else mattered. I spent the rest of the night with Hamlet. When my farther said it was time to go I didn’t want to leave at all. I then had to say by to Hamlet, we had a long lasting hug and said talk again soon. I was in such a happy, carefree mood for the rest of the night; I really hope I get to see Hamlet again soon.
