The fight between love and madness

Have you ever felt in love that you felt insane? Have you ever been in a relationship in which you felt that everything was out of control? Well, you maybe feel like Ophelia in Hamlet. 

In my view, Ophelia is one of the most sensitive characters in Hamlet’s play.  She was deeply in love with hamlet that she would do anything in order to be with him. It is like some of those relationships when one of the lovers is crazy to be with the other person and to keep their warmth with him/her, that the romance becomes insane.

Ophelia would do anything to have Hamlet’s love. Have you ever felt like that? If you answer is yes, BE CAREFUL! At the end of the play, she felt she had no options when she realizes that she lost him that she committed suicide. I am pretty sure that you do not want to end up like Ophelia.

But, we have to question something. What felt Hamlet? Why did not he love Ophelia as much as she loved him? He was very hurt because of his mother’s behavior. He was so disappointed that this leads him to distrust all women in the planet. His mother was to be perfect, but she is not. He idealizes her in a way no one could ever broke that image; however, Gertrude broke that idea by herself.

The line between love and madness is so thin that we might not realize when we are losing our minds. You do not want to be another Ophelia and become your life a tragedy, right? Life is so beautiful that it is not worth to suffer from someone who does not love you. Sometimes, you suffer because you get used to it. However, who can say what is normal and what is not? What is insane and what is not? Maybe we are all insane, we think that we love but we do not know what is love (baby don’t hurt me, no more hahaha) or what is to be in love. 

In my opinion, we were born "normal", but afterwards, we transform into sick people (especially when we are in love.) What do you think?
