Shakespeare's Presentation of Ophelia

Shakespeare 's Ophelia address is one of the only two women in the drama, and the role of Ophelia is presented as very impractical and passive, and it may be surprised. In particular, Ophelia did not express any opinion and her only clear emotion was fear (after Hamlet reported that he visited her) and regret (Hamlet rejected her). In addition, she never requested freedom, and she did not ask for a short and wrong indication of Polonius.

Shakespeare used Ophelia as an excellent woman in the drama. Maybe because she has a very intimate relationship with Hamlet. Furthermore, she seems to have two different aspects. This is a happy and vibrant aspect, a dark and sharp point that later became dominant in the drama. Ophelia is a daughter of Polonius, a beautiful young woman who loves Hamlet. Ophelia is a sweet and innocent girl who follows her father and her brothers (Lertes). She might become a tragic heroine and overcome the adversities caused by her, but on the contrary she fell into insanity and became a tragedy. The reason why she might become a heroine of tragedy is because she is innocent and does not do anything bad. But she does a lot of things and is portrayed as a tragic personality. Ophelia is the role that different viewers of different ages have different opinions about them. She follows men and fulfills her duties.

In the role of Ophelia, Shakespeare announced a challenging paradox. In addition to Horatio, she is the most obvious nice person in the drama. When Hamlet says "Nymph in your life, all my sins are remembered" (3.1.97-98), he wants Ophelia to be able to follow his sins Forgive for them, not for them. The order that he commanded the nun to go was cruel, but also showed praise for her spiritual good. Shakespeare described Ophelia as an innocent figure even though her suicide was a fatal crime. In the fifth act in scene 1, the gravesman laughed at the judgment of the coroner that Ophelia had drowned himself for self defense. But Shakespeare shows that this is exactly what she is doing and is taking the only possible way from the courts of corruption and violent corruption. Offering her Christian funeral on stage is a dramatic way to express her innocence
