William Shakespeare wrote ten tragedies during his life. Once described as a "nature poet" by Samuel Johnson, Shakespeare uses nature to kill Ophelia, one of the characters in the tragic play Hamlet. There is great debate, both in and out of the play, over whether his death was accidental or intentional. Regardless, further investigation of the room determined that Ophelia could survive, if only she had help. Ophélie has gone mad because of the loss of her father and her lover. Without her two greatest sources of care, she lacks help, love and affection, thus affecting her spirit. Polonius, his father, warns that “It is the very ecstasy of love, / Whose violent property renounces itself / And leads the will to a desperate enterprise” (2.1.102-104). He warns his daughter that love is a dangerous emotion that can drive a person crazy from withdrawal. Help came to Ophelia until she unknowingly began spreading rumors. In doing so, she insults the king and queen in front of their faces when she graciously offers them flowers that carry secrets: There is rosemary, it's for remembrance. Please love, remember. And there are thoughts, it's for thoughts. . . There's fennel for you and Columbines. – There is street for you, and here is for me. We can call it “herb of grace” on Sunday! – Oh, you must wear your street with a difference. (4,5,150-155).Ophelia offers rosemary, flowers of remembrance, to her brother Laertes. She tries to tell him to remember who killed their father and then take revenge on that person. She then shares some thoughts with him to tell him that she is about to reveal her thoughts about the King and Queen. Ophelia hands Gertrude some fennel and columbines, flowers which represent adultery. ...... middle of paper ...... too many details about Ophelia's death, as well as her behavior at the funeral are quite interesting. Rather than sobbing hysterically or falling into a deep depression, Gertrude apologizes to Ophelia's corpse before talking about things that could have happened. Eventually, the queen makes up for her lack of help by securing a place in heaven for Ophelia. Shakespeare uses Ophelia in a way that matches her name. Ophelia means help in Greek, and although she faithfully helps the other characters, she lacks help in return. Being the most important character who brings dramatic irony, Ophelia also suffers the blowback of all the failed revenge plans. Although during this period she fulfilled her duty as a wife well until she collapsed.
