Ophelia's Diary Analysis

For this written task, I have chosen to write a diary based on Ophelia’s perspective of the events. A diary is a form of autobiographical writing kept to record activities and reflections. It allows for further insight on the writer’s thoughts and feelings, given that it provides a sense of frankness dissimilar to those of other writing forms.
We know that Ophelia is torn between two conflicting extremities. Polonius and Laertes believe that Hamlet would use her, that he would take her virginity and throw it away because she could never be his wife. Her heart has convinced her that Hamlet loved her, though he swears he never did. To her father and brother, Ophelia is the eternal virgin, the vessel of morality whose purpose is to

be a dutiful wife and steadfast mother. To Hamlet, she is a sexual object, a corrupt and deceitful lover. With no mother to guide her, she has no way of deciphering the contradictory expectations.
Just like Hamlet, the medieval precept that the father's word is unquestionable governs Ophelia. But her Renaissance sense of romantic love also rules her. How can she be obedient to her father and true to her love? When she lies to Hamlet and tells him that Polonius is home when he is concealed in the room eavesdropping, Ophelia proves she cannot live in both worlds. She has chosen one, and her choice seals her fate. The dilemma also forces her into madness. She has no way to reconcile the contradictory selves her men demand that she be and still retain an equilibrium. Ophelia's desperation literally drives her crazy, and she has no means with which to heal herself.
Hence, for these due reasons, I believe that the construction of a diary was more than necessary to obtain and express Ophelia’s point of view against a strongly opinionated content.
