McMurphy's Journal

Today just had helluva time in "group therapy" man going by the name of Harding just got his balls cut-off in the pecking party and the damn ball-cutter Ratched kept messing up name. Good thing I set that bitch straight or else would of needed to use my unk Hoolihan's method. That nurse set a helluva pecking party everyone just went at each other, hooeee, they were doing her job of cutting their balls off.

Well I'm going to get even with that Nurse Ratched, going grill her hard. Going to try to get the rest of these "crazies" to agree with me and show her we still got our balls. I'm gonna show her who's the men and women in this here loony bin.

Elsinore Floral Arrangers

Hamlet- Begonia, Daffodil, Orange Mock, Petunia = These flowers relate to Hamlet because Begonias represent deep thoughts as he is confirming his suspicions, Daffodils represent his unrequited love for Ophelia in the start of the play, Orange Mocks the deceit he creates through his madness, and Petunias for the anger he harbors towards women in the play.

Claudius- Crown Imperial, Yellow Hyacinth, Lavender, Stargazer = The Crown Imperial represents Claudius' majesty and power as king, the Hyacinth his jealousy of his brother's position as king, Lavender is his distrust of Hamlet and his actions, and Stargazer his ambition to become king.

Gertrude- Jonquil, Red Rose, Acacia = The Jonquil represents Gertrude's desire, the Red Rose her passionate love, and Acacia for her concealed love

Ophelia- Orange Blossom, Carolina Rose, Absinth, Anemone = The Orange Blossom is Ophelia's innocence throughout most of the play, Carolina Rose represents the danger in love as she is mentally split between her love for Hamlet and filial loyalty to Polonius, Absinth the torment that she suffers from trying to reciprocate Hamlet's love, and Anemone is her feeling of abandonment after Hamlet yells at her and he rejects his love for her.
