In the beginning everything was good
Life was sweet and everyone was at peace
There were hardships but they could be withstood
But this rapidly started to decrease
Life began to take a turn for the worst
People started to question everything
Feelings were held in and started to burst
However people did not talk but sing
No one understood what they had to say
They started to lose touch with what was life
These people's minds were slowly led astray
Their lives were filled with craziness and strife
They were not part of the community
Because their minds were in disunity

Crazy Flowers just for You
Ophelia- Freesia, Tulip, Anemone
I picked these flowers because Freesia means innocence, Tulip means true love, and Anemone means fragile. Ophelia is innocent because she allows for her father, brother, and Hamlet to control her. Even when Hamlet treats her badly she still continues to love him, until she dies. She is fragile because the manipulation of her father brother and Hamlet cause her to go crazy.
Claudius- Marigold, Amaryllis, Protea
I picked these flowers because Marigold symbolizes desire for riches. Claudius' desire for riches is shown through him killing his brother. He wanted to become king so badly that he killed his own brother to do so. Amaryllis symbolizes pride. Claudius is prideful because he does not seem to feel sorry for killing his brother. His success at becoming king over powers that. Protea symbolizes daring. Claudius is daring in that he kills his own brother, the king of Denmark, so that he could become king.
Hamlet- Forget-me-not, Begonia, Lavender.
I picked Forget-me-not for Hamlet because it symbolizes true love. Throughout the entire play he was fooling people by pretending to be crazy. However his love for Ophelia was never fake. He always loved her. Begonia symbolizes deep thoughts. Hamlet does a lot of pondering on aspects of life. He questions his morals and even if his life is worth living. Lavender symbolizes distrust. Hamlet doesn't trust anyone in the play, except Horatio. He doesn't trust his mother who quickly married his uncle right after Claudius killed King Hamlet. He was always questioning the motives of others.
Horatio-Alstroemeria, Gladiolus,Poppy
I picked Alstromeria for Horatio because is symbolizes friendship. Horatio is Hamlet's best friend and stands by his side the whole time. Gladiolus symbolizes strength of character. Throughout the whole play while everyone was convinced that Hamlet was crazy, Horatio stayed by his side. He didn't let the rumors get to him and stayed true to Hamlet. Poppy symbolizes consolation. When Hamlet doesn't know what to do he turns to Horatio. Horatio is always there for Hamlet, whenever he needs him.

Hamlet's Office Supply Store
Hamlet would be a pencil because he can never make up his mind. Because of this he will probably make a mistake and need to fix it.
"Now might I do it pat. Now he is a-praying . And now I'll do't. (III.iii.74-74)
"No. Up, sword, and know thou a more horrid hent. (III.iii 88-89)
Ophelia would be a highlighter because in the scene when she gives out flowers she highlights the faults of everyone.
"There's fennel for you, and columbines.-There's rue for you...(IV.v.179-180)
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern would be paper clips, as opposed to a stapler, because cannot be fully relied on to hold everything together and keep Hamlet's trust.
"Why, look you now, how unworthy a athing you make of me! You would play upon me." (III.ii.336-337)
