Everyone must take turns reading this passage and act it out in a way you think Ophelia would say it:

“I hope all will be well. We must be patient, but I cannot choose but to weep to think they would lay him I’th’ cold ground. My brother shall know of it, and so I thank you for your good counsel. Come, my couch. Good night ladies, good night sweet ladies, good night, good night.” pg 175 (lines 68-72)
