	Animal Farm
		Ophelia is still too much under the influence of her father to question his wisdom or authority, and she has no mind of her own to understand how much she has made her lover suffer.
		Ophelia’s madness is brought on by her lack of being able to demonstrate any maturity in trying to cope with her losses and in return can only inflict her madness on the court.
		Ophelia was never able to understand exactly what Hamlet was suffering from, and in a way he created a situation for her to relate; death of a father and betrayal by a loved one.

	On Shakespeare's Ophelia
		The title of the book, Reviving Ophelia, is a reference to the character of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet; she is used as a symbol for what the author, Mary Pipher, says happens to young women.
		Siegel is the critic who understood Ophelia truly, and he showed--looking with scrupulous and loving exactitude at the text--that the Danish girl is not a passive victim--in fact, she has active contempt, shown clearly through the lines Shakespeare has her say, and also through what she doesn’t say.
		Young women dislike themselves not because demands are made on them, or the approval of others is hard to get, but because the way they see the world and people is not fair, not deep or kind enough, and has too much contempt with it.

	Ophelia - A Letter by a Victorian Actress (HAMLET)
		Ophelia naturally had her attendants, whose duty it was to tell her father of these meetings, and who evidently did so.
		Ophelia's conduct in reference to the meeting with Hamlet, concerted by her father and the king, has drawn upon her head a world of, I think, most unjust censure and indignation.
		When Ophelia comes before us for the last time, with her lap full of flowers, to pay all honour and reverence, as she thinks, in country fashion, to her father's grave, the brother is by her side, of whom she had said before, most significantly, that he should "know of it...

		Ophelia fell under the spell of the novelogue's poetry and began - with no real awareness that she was doing this - accumulating the clothing written around the novelogue's Ophelia.
		Ophelia stared at a small, crumpled lily next to a computer generated rock, and a hazy video of a young woman putting rocks into the pockets of a flly green velvet dress and walking into a river, broke off from the bottom of the display pool and floated to the surface.
		Ophelia was drowned when the ferry on which she was sailing on the harbour in New York capsized.

	How does the symbol of flowers contribute to Ophelia’s character in the play
		Her character creates an indescribable feeling of sadness in the reader’s mind and with each passing act we are more and more moved by her heartbreaking fate.
		As Ophelia obeys to her brother and later her father to stop seeing Hamlet, something dies in her and although she never confesses her love for Hamlet to anyone, the reader understands it and hurts with her for her loss.
		Ophelia is fragile as a flower, but as a flowers obeys to the wind that blows, so does Ophelia to the men in her life she is so heavely influenced by and to a society she can not rebel against.

	Women In Hamlet
		Ophelia has no chance to develop an independent conscience of her own, so stifled is she by the authority of the male world.
		In an effort to conceive of Ophelia as a character with her own richness and integrity, interpreters of the role have often felt obliged to ascribe a past to her which is not evident from the text of Shakespeare's Hamlet itself.
		The situation of Ophelia in the story is that of a young girl who, at an early age is brought from a life of privacy into the circle of a court -- a court such as we read of in those early times, at once rude, magnificent, and corrupted.

	H A M L E T (Regained) - The Ophelia Sonnets
		Ophelia was in a willow tree, and Gertrude said "crownet weeds." Ophelia was getting willow twigs to make crown wreaths of flowers, of the kind that maidens wore on holidays such as May Day.
		Sonnet #70 is the Poet's apology to Ophelia for the slander he inflicted on her in Hamlet, and it also includes his sublime solution for any bad thoughts about Ophelia that might arise in the "ill breeding minds" of those who read the play, or who see a performance of Hamlet.
		So, the author explains to Ophelia that the slander he inflicted on her in the play is only like a small mole on her beautful face, the way a crow flying high in the sky is seen as only a tiny fl spot on the face of heaven.

	MP: An International Feminist Online Journal (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ophelia’s mother is dead and without motherly guidance, or any other female alliance, she cannot really build up her own code of ethics, which is hardly surprising as her brother and her father leave her no space to think, both literally and metaphorically.
		To her father and brother, Ophelia is the eternal virgin, the vessel of morality whose purpose is to be a dutiful wife and steadfast mother.
		Similarly to Ophelia and Edna, Lily’s true nature and heart would prefer to be with the man she loves but there seems to be no choice as her upbringing and sick social rules condition Lily to obey the artificial codes of the materialistic world.

	Silence
		Although Ophelia is one of the more tragic figures in Shakespearean drama, it is her essence that lends her name to the archetype of woman.

		His sense of betrayal and his blame of Ophelia for his part in the murder of Ophelia's father (whom Hamlet stabbed to death) are expressed in the final verse.

		Ophelia’s lunatic ravings reveal a great deal about the nature of her mind at this stage in her young life.
