Look, here is writ “kind Julia.” Unkind Julia, Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honeyĪnd kill the bees that yield it with your stings!
O hateful hands, to tear such loving words! However, once Lucetta leaves, Julia scrambles to reassemble the letter and divine its contents. Julia pretends that she doesn’t want to read the letter and rips it up. Lucetta delivers a letter to her mistress, Julia, from an admirer, Proteus.
But does he back them up with his actions? Hmmm. Those are strong words of love from Hamlet. I have notĪrt to reckon my groans, but that I love thee best, O O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers. In her excellent white bosom, these, etc. That’s an ill phrase, a vile phrase “beautified” is a To the celestial, and my soul’s idol, the I have a daughter (have while she is mine) Ophelia has received a love letter from her boyfriend, and now her dad is reading that letter aloud to her boyfriend’s mother and uncle. In this scene, Polonius is reading it aloud to Claudius and Gertrude. Hamlet is no novice when it comes to passionate language, as he proves in the love letter he writes to Ophelia. It’s a good thing that Rosalind has already fallen for him. Ok, so they’re not love letters per se, but Rosalind (disguised as a man named Ganymede) does discover them and reads one aloud: Orlando has been writing poems to his beloved Rosalind and hanging them on trees around the Forest of Arden. Handwritten notes are where it’s at. We look at three instances of love letters in Shakespeare’s plays: Orlando’s love poems to Rosalind in As You Like It, Hamlet’s passionate missive to Ophelia in Hamlet, and Proteus’s romantic letter to Julia in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
