Poor Ophelia
My slight attempt at the Shakespearean language:
Sweet sorrow for thou are gone. She was a genuine soul, but thus with a corrupted mind and a sorry heart...How she held soft throughout her growing madness is unfortunate, though let us not forget who Ophelia "really" was, kind and gentle. We ought to remember that. Now, if we may pray for that of our lost and not remorse, but soly be proud of that she is somewhere far better. Let us end any sorrow, and embrace the light.
In my opinion, Ophelia was pitiful as she was a "forgotten" character in Hamlet. Ophelia was victim to something that never really concerned her and wrongfully villainized as a loon because of her coping problems. The death of her father and Hamlet's driving madness convinced Ophelia into believing that it's her fault for the outcomes. And sadly drives herself into madness...later dying, but not quite sure whether it was intensional or an accident. Possibly even both.
