[Opinions] Re: Ophelia
in reply to a message by Lily8
I think the problem I have with is exacerbated by the painting "Ophelia" by Millais I - that's the image I have in my head when I think of the name. I actually like the sound of Ophelia.Tbh, I wouldn't use Romeo either - because of the play - I always thought he was a twat.I love Octavia.

Ditto on Romeo, lol. I always have the feeling those two are emo self-centred teen agers anyway. Give me Anthony and Cleopatra over Romeo and Juliet any day, middle-aged star-crossed lovers are way more interesting.

I so agree. I had to study R&J in secondary school when I was the same age as the unfortunate pair. They left me cold - I much preferred Macbeth which I studied the next year.
