	Ophelia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ophelia has been driven mad by the murder of her father by her lover Hamlet.
		He endured considerable difficulties and discomfort and the whole story of the painting of 'Ophelia' is evidence of the extraordinary dedication of the young Pre-Raphaelites to their goal of 'truth to nature'.
		The brilliant colour and luminosity of 'Ophelia' is the result of the Pre-Raphaelite technique of painting in pure colours onto a pure white ground.

		Ophelia is not just important in this respect, but also in respect to what she tells us about the society she came out of and the society we live in today.
		Ophelia is the maiden who is in love with him and is used by her father and Hamlet's parent's as a device to learn about his madness.
		Instead of the water being a vehicle for Ophelia's drowning, the water is effervescent and from it emerges two breasts framed "in the fl bra of an infinity symbol." (Erdman 38) The infinity symbol and the title of the work show that even though Ophelia is dead, she is not really gone.

		The overwhelming evidence revealing the cultural importance of the Ophelia archetype suggests, however, that these young women were not “mad” to impersonate madness; far from it, the Ophelia archetype has such widespread appeal that it has infiltrated expressions ranging from painting to music and fashion to film.
		The appeal of the Ophelia archetype lies in its flexibility; both the iconography she fulfils within the play and later representations of her are fraught with an ambivalence that opens her figure to diverse interpretations and projections of our selves.
		The scene literalizes the implied confrontation in the painting as the girl advances on her victims in the exact pose of Ophelia to "drown" them as she was drowned.

		The opinion of critics is that the details--"vegetable anomalies"--overwhelm Ophelia, thus reducing her anguish to a mere part of the scene.
		Ophelia is for us one of Millais's best-known and admired pictures, but the critics in 1852 found little to like about it.
		Ophelia's expression seems right to us now; she has retreated so far into her madness that she lies motionless and emotionless, oblivious of her doom.

		Ophelia, spurned by her lover and abandoned by the absence of her brother and the death of her father, is driven mad and drowns.
		In later years, his obsessive paintings of Ophelia point away from pity for the victim and towards Hamlet's despair under the crushing femme fatale.
		His Ophelias are painted from the memory of Lizzie Siddall, who he eventually married and who died about two years after the event.

	Millais Ophelia. Behind the Painting.
		Ophelia, driven insane by the murder of her father and by her lover, Hamlet, is portrayed singing in her madness as she drowns.
		Nor, apparently did he overlook the symbolic meaning of some of the flowers: the pansies signify love in vain or thought (the name is derived from the French penser), poppies signify sleep and death, the rose signifies youth, fritillaries sorrow, violets death in youth and daisies innocence.
		Ophelia is for us one of Millais' best-known and admired pictures, but the critics in 1852 found little to like about it.

	Women In Hamlet
		The case study of Ophelia was one that seemed particularly useful as an account of hysteria or mental breakdown in adolescence, a period of sexual instability which the Victorians regarded as risky for women's mental health.
		Probably the most important of the mid-nineteenth century paintings of Ophelia was John Everett Millais' painting of 1851-2.
		As we shall see, the pose of his drowning Ophelia set the standard for many of the representations that were to follow.

	John Millais
		The painting went to the B.A. in April 1850 where it was bought for £50.
		Much of the walk was painted outdoors on the riverbank, greatly to the annoyance of a pair of swans who disputed the territory and drove Millais to near distraction.
		The painting, which became known as Autumn Leaves, was designed to evoke a mood and a feeling of the transience of life and beauty - all is doomed to eventual decay, even the greatest innocence and beauty is overwhelmed by the passage of time.

		The mad Ophelia's bawdy songs and verbal license, while they give her access to 'an entirely different range of experience' from what she is allowed as the dutiful daughter, seem to be her one sanctioned form of self-assertion as a woman, quickly followed, as if in retribution, by her death."

		For a variety of reasons, Ophelia was a compelling figure for many Victorian artists, writers, and doctors seeking to represent the madwoman.
		Hughes's juxtaposition of childlike femininity and Christian martyrdom, however, was overpowered by John Everett Millais's strong painting of Ophelia.
		They turned to his plays for models of mental aberration that could be applied to their clinical practice, and the case of Ophelia was one that seemed particularly apt.

	millais paints ophelia 1
		Hunt was painting in a cattle-shed from a sheep.
		About the year 1873 "Ophelia" was exhibited at South Kensington ; and Millais, going- one day to have a look at it, noticed at once that several of the colours he had used in 85 1 had gone wrong--notably the vivid green in the water-weed and the colouring of the face of the figure.
		The women in "Ophelia" and "The Huguenot" were essentially characteristic of Millais' Art, showing his ideal of womankind as gentle, lovable creatures; and, whatever Art critics may say to the contrary, this aim- the portrayal of woman at her best-is one distinctly of our own national school.

		However, Millais and his Pre-Raphaelite friends completed their painting outside in the open air, which was unusual for the time.
		The Pre-Raphaelite paintings were produced in incredible detail, direct from nature itself in the more traditional style of a 'finished painting' (in which the surface was polished) and over an extended period (8-9 months in the case of Ophelia although Millais was not working only on this painting).
		He painted the landscape part of the painting outside by the Hogsmill River at Ewell in Surrey and painted the figure of Ophelia inside in his studio.

		We next hear of Hamlet in Ophelia's report to Polonius of his odd appearance in her closet with his head bare, his doublet open, and his stockings fallen around his ankles (2.1.76–83), exactly the kind of disorderly dress that Shakespeare's contemporaries would associate with a madman.
		The 1603 Quarto probably reflects actual stage practice when it describes Ophelia entering singing and playing on a lute with her hair let down, a mark of female distraction roughly parallel to Hamlet's disordered appearance earlier.
		Moreover, whereas Hamlet in "To be, or not to be" considers and rejects suicide, Ophelia sinks to a problematic death that is reported by Gertrude in the descriptive set-piece that begins "There is a willow grows aslant the brook" (4.7.165–82).

	PreRaphaelitism
		Believing all forms of art to be interrelated, the Pre-Raphaelite artists often took subjects for their paintings from famous works of literature; alternately, many of them wrote poems to accompany their artwork.
		By painting their canvasses white before they began, they achieved a look of hyper-natural light and near transparency.
		Almost every one of their paintings points to something beyond what appears; the subjects of these works of art, often people, are symbols of something greater.
