ophelia's unfortunate ending
In the painting, I feel like Ophelia is being represented as if she was hopeless, its kind of disturbing just from the facial expression, the backround. Also, I noticed that she is holding flowers in one hand as if she already knew that she was going to die or something like that. In my opinion, I think Shakespeare intended on making Ophelia the innocent girl in the play or to be the woman who is just there for the sake of it, she has no sense of having a past. I honestly think she was just put in the story have to add a little tragedy in the play. Ophelia's last moments must of been intended, why else would she run off with a bunch of flowers in her hands giving off flowers to her loved one, to add to that, she's a lune. She must have intended on killing herself. Ophelia must have given in after the branch below he broke, come on, the water isnt that deep, from the painting, i could tell that the water wasnt even deep, this symbolized to me a sense of giving up or like I said before, intentional death. Gertude must have seen her die because he felt that she was doing what she needed to do. Ophelia's cause of madness must have been all the lies that she must have been told or the reason was that she wasnt allowed to love who she wanted to. I represent Ophelia as an unimportant character.
