My English class is reading Hamlet (well we just finished) and we came across a scene where Hamlet is talking to Ophelia. The line Hamlet says is, "I loved you once." I'm reading this and I'm thinking awww that's sweet, but than I read on and Hamlet says, "I never loved you!" WHAT?!?! Excuse me Hamlet did you really just pull the classic jerk move?! It's amazing that men were acting like that in the 1600s, the time when Knights in shining armor were around. Girls always get really upset when men say things like that, but then we go and watch sappy romantic movies that always end happy. It makes you feel worse because you are sitting there wondering why your life isn't a movie and why you can't fall in love and be happy. Boys just won't understand, even sometimes in movies they don't understand. In Newsies, Jack and Sarah are on a rooftop and Jack says, "This is one strike leader who is going to be very happy when it's all over. Than I can get out of here and go to Santa Fe. I mean, there's nothting for me to stay for, is there?" I'm watching this and I'm yelling "Yes! Stay for her she's right there!" He doesn't get it till the end when he almost leaves, but comes back because of her.
Someday I hope men understand that they can't say things like "love" unless they mean it. (Just a rant/opinion that needed to be said)
