Flowers! Flowers EVERYWHERE!

While stumbling along the internet, ive found great little blips of hamlet.

This is a fun little over view, but with facebook status messages. And instead of everyone dieing, its instead people joining groups and playing games on facebook.

A Painting of Ophelia. This is one the primary things ive found art wise related to hamlet. Ophelia seems to be the one that was painted the most among all of the artists and most of the paintings happen to be of Ophelia's final scene.

Here, the author took an IRC chat and made it into a version of Hamlet. It was amusing and great for some chuckles.

This page, has alot of good theory on Opheila and her relationship with hamlet. I felt i understood Ophelia so much more after reading through these pages.
After Writing on Ophelia, i even feel a little crazyer. How about a run through the Tulips?

The McSweeney's Facebook Hamlet thing is now officially the funniest Hamlet-related curiosity I've seen.
