One, intelligence is not enough. Plenty of smart adult women do stupid things regarding men and Ophelia's a teen with limited boy-experience. Two, *self-confidence* is essential in order for intelligence to work. So, I was trying to show how as Ophelia matured and gained self-confidence, she finally starts being *herself,* who she was meant to be, and then, and only then, is she able to win the day.Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-82910697752917911042011-05-10T08:35:01.092-06:002011-05-10T08:35:01.092-06:00It looks to teenish for me.
