Dysfunctional family
I think the Bennets are more dysfunctional because as Wikipedia describes in a family like this there is a dominant parent that abuses the kids and the other parent is just a child like parent. In Pride and Prejudice both parents switch those roles from time to time. We all notice how Mrs. Bennet is constantly abusing her children by hassling them to get them married and just harassing them to make poor decisions like she does and all the while like a child Mr. Bennet just watches. On the other hand, sometimes Mr. Bennet uses his sarcasm to verbally abuse his children and once again Mrs. Bennet plays the reverse and just gets abused as well, standing there like a horse just shaking her head.

Hamlet soliloquy
As Hamlet is talking to Ofelia, he is clearly presenting in his eyes her flaws. These flaws are not picky but more honest then anything. Hamlet describes how Ofelia is fake. Hamlet describes her to be full of makeup and not being herself, not the way god had made her. This fakeness irks Hamlet and causes him to cancel the marriage. Now what Hamlet says is clear, but how he says is even more clear. Hamlet is furious. He is enraged and full of fury because Ofelia's lack to be herself. He says i'll no more on't. It hath made me mad. These two lines are two primary examples of Hamlet calling of the wedding but as well as dehumanizing Ofelia, calling her it, showing his lack of respect for her because she can not respect herself. Hamlet is not wrong in saying that Ofelia has to be who she is, but his deliverance with anger is very off-putting and later on causes her brother to hate Hamlet of hurting his sister like that.

Dear Dr. Forman
Dear Dr. Forman,
I wasn't really in class for some days so it was more difficult to grasp my ideas in the short amount of time, but when I saw all the videos in "rapid fire", it was quite simple to see that most of the movies all follow the same basic storyline. This set me up to write my essay easier because I didn't have to digest as much for if I was reading the book itself. My ideas came in spurts but because of all the visual imagery (movies) I had more flow to my essay because I knew what to picture and understand what the characters were doing and how they were acting (literally and metaphorically).
