That's an easy detail to overlook, but I agree that it might be Shakespeare's way of showing us that she was not of sound mind at the moment of her death (and thus justifying the Christian burial she receives). Earlier, Sam Grove mentioned that there isn't much attention paid to Ophelia, but you do her justice here!Cyrus Mulreadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949993053589030711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136593454417242564.post-38625822281230581212012-11-14T22:10:52.002-05:002012-11-14T22:10:52.002-05:00I love Ophelia's character when she turns mad ... I love Ophelia's character when she turns mad after her father's death. She shows a stronger side to her character, now that she does not have to keep silent, she can break free and show that she has a voice. She shows her true emotions about the different men in her life. <br /> I love how Ophelia shows her emotions, In this play she is my favorite character when she turns mad. I love the emotion of her character at this point. <br /> I agree that her death is a symbol of her release from all the sadness and the pain that she has felt.
