Hamlet's Love for Ophelia In Hamlet, we are introduced to the complexities of a man who is struggling to murder his uncle while trying to understand his mother's motives. His inner turmoil has left him emotionally unavailable and completely disenchanted with humanity in general. Hamlet seems to be at his best when he is cruel which could reveal a deeper method for self-medication in which he hurts those he loves most - especially his mother & Ophelia.

the Miss Havisham re-imagined in the 2013 movie made the audience hate her, then love her, and then she was dead. This was what was needed to complete the triangle of emotions conveyed by the actresses, Martita Hunt, Gillian Anderson, and Helena Bonham Carter.

Growing up different from most kids, Burton was influenced by many unique people and movies such as Edgar Allen Poe, Dr. Seuss, and German Expressionist films.
