Dear Ophelia,
Ophelia my dear you are not alone! Calm thy soul. I empathize that you have such feelings but don't rush to kill thy bigot parents. You cannot cull who you love that is very understandable. You do not choose love, love chooses you and some day your parents will understand that. You live in a dogmatic society where parents don't budge very easily. Who are we kidding?! In any society, parents don't budge very easily. They give you fustian speeches and command that you only look for a certain type of person. Your at the age where you burgeon into a woman and so does love. When parents command you to do something it is very understandable to be contumacious. To hell with them! They can advise you but they can't order you to live a certain way. Especially when you are courted by someone who is considered polemical, then they will really want to control who you mete your time with. It's your life not theirs, they have already lived their life. Bickering with them is pointless because they are essentially children with adult bodies. They won't try to reason because they think that they are right because they are so many years old. I agree with what you did Ophelia, just nod your head for now, but as soon as you are independent enough, leave them and live your life. If they truly gave a damn about you, they would try to understand your feelings for Hamlet and make the effort to accept you two as a couple. And if they truly loved you, they will suck up their hauteur and stop being a curmudgeon. If they care about your happiness someday they will coalesce well into your life. If they choose not to agree then obviously they don't deserve to be in your life. In this chaotic life, where balance is fleeting, you should always hang on to that beacon of hope and find the person that truly makes you happy. Hang in there!
