Although the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare is indeed about the consequences of revenge, one of the major subplots follows the characters Hamlet and Ophelia as their romance takes some unexpected twists and turns. Their feelings towards each other seem to change on a dime; one minute they are lovers, the next they act as those they despise the other. Hamlet’s self-inflicted insanity begins to complicate their relationship as the play progress. Ophelia doesn’t know what is real and what is not. Perhaps Hamlet himself is unsure as well. When examining the timeline of their relationship, one question seems to turn up. Does Hamlet really love Ophelia, or is he simply mesmerized by the idea of her? Based on their

Similarly, Melanie tries to escape the patriarchal nature of Philip who “can’t abide a woman in trousers…’no make-up, mind. And only speak, when your spoken to. He likes, you know, silent women.”(P. 62-23) He tries to put Melanie in place of the swan in his show and treat her like a puppet. “Philip’s voice…moved dark and sonorous against the moaning of the fiddle. The swan made a lumpish jump forward and settled on her loins. She thrust with all her force to get rid of it…the gilded beak dug deeply into the soft flesh. She screamed hardly realizing she was screaming. The obscene swan had mounted her.” (p.165-167) This scene is very disturbing as Philip tries to take Melanie’s sexual agency away, making the tone of this episode is very dark

The song is high-speed vocalization that scats like machine gun fire. Even when the lyrics become repetitive, the fiercely driven delivery blazes with passion. There is no sense of the robotic aestheticism that so many dance tunes seem to carry. Garbus brings her lyrics like a wounded poet, yet leaves them riding the extreme rhythm of multiple instruments. Her melodies are as assertive as any song sung from the heart and it doesn’t take long to forget you are listening to a dance tune.

During the month of February, the Hallmark Network promoted a showcase of movies leading up to Valentine’s Day called “Countdown to Valentine’s,” and it just so happens that one of those films, “Appetite for Love,” featured a country duo that captured my attention. When I first heard them sing, I was certain I had heard them on the country radio station, but upon further inspection (and after some good, old-fashioned research), I discovered that it was a sweet sister group called “Robyn and Ryleigh.” Their music spawned quite a firestorm on social media as so many fans attempted to figure out just who they were. I am pleased to report that I recently had the opportunity to get to know these young troubadours just a little bit better as we discussed

In Barbara Graham’s “The Future of Love”, she says long-term fairy tale romance inspires true love believers and their perspective towards love itself. Graham expresses the idea that to her, a lot of relationships fail because both partners in the relationship fall in love with an idealistic view of who the other person is.
