"There is a willow grows aslant a brook, that shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream."
Antigone and Ophelia are similar because they both are heartbroken over the loss of a loved one (in Ophelia's case two loved ones, Pelonius, her father. And Hamlet, her boyfriend). And Gertrude and Ophelia are similar because they both seem to have the need for someone to look after them and love them, because almost immediatly after Hamlet Sr. dies Gertrude moves right on to Hamlet's uncle for a sense of security. The same goes for Ophelia in that she goes completely insane after the loss of her father and after Hamlet acts like a jerk to her. But I don't see a common connection between all three of them.
She drowned in a brook.
The main characters of the play of Hamletwere:Hamlet - the Prince of DenmarkClaudious - the new King of DenmarkThe Ghost - image of Hamlet's fatherGertrude - the Queen of Denmark, Hamlet's mother, and widow of Hamlet's fatherOphelia - Daughter of Polonius and she is in love with Hamlet !!!!
Polonius dies in Act 3. Ophelia dies offstage in Act 4; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die offstage sometime after Act 4. Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude and Laertes all die in Act 5.
Ophelia's father is Polonius, who is Claudius' advisor. Polonius is killed by Hamlet when he is hiding behind a tapestry, spying on Hamlet as he talks to his mother, Gertrude. After Polonius' death, Ophelia goes mad and eventually dies after she falls from a tree into a brook and drowns.
There are eight individuals who die during the play, three of them offstage :Hamlet himself, King Claudius and Queen Gertrude, Polonius, Laertes, Ophelia, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Hamlet's father is dead before the play opens, and only his Ghost appears.(It's also implied that the servant Reynaldo dies, although that has to be interpreted.)
The main cause of death in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" is the result of poison. King Hamlet dies after being poisoned by his brother Claudius, and later Queen Gertrude also dies by consuming a poisoned drink intended for Hamlet. Ophelia's death is also indirectly caused by poison, as she drowns in a river after losing her reason due to Hamlet's actions.
His father dies because his uncle killed him and his mother ends up marrying his uncle. Also Polonius tells Ophelia that she can't be with him even though Gertrude wants Hamlet to marry Ophelia. Hamlet stabs at someone hiding behind the curtains and it just happens to be his girlfriend's father. He is sent to England to be killed and he happens to look at the orders which tell him he is to be killed. Then the ship just happens to be attacked by pirates who take him back to Denmark.
Laertes dies by his own poisoned blade at the hand of hamlet hamlet dies from laertes poisoned blade Gertrude takes a drink of the wine intended for hamlet by Claudius that poisoned her Claudius is forced to drink the poisoned wine by hamlet Rosencrantz and Guildenstern take a letter to England that tells the king to kill them and it is signed by hamlet Ophelia drownds her self Polonius is stabed by hamlet
Hamlet stabs him after Queen Gertrude dies from drinking the poision that was meant for Hamlet.
She is a remarkably intelligent woman with a gift of terse observation. Her terseness makes her a great foil for Polonius. She also serves the function of preventing the poisoned wine from killing Hamlet. The closet scene is one of the most powerful in the play and brings out a number of important characteristics of Hamlet, as well as being the scene of the Polonius murder. She doesnt have much of a personality, she shows women are "easily led" and marrys her husbands brother right after he dies
Polonius (stabbed from behind a tapestry), Hamlet (poisoned by Laertes' sword), Laertes (also poisoned by his own sword), Gertrude (drinks Claudius' poison)and Claudius (stabbed, and forced to drink his poison) all die onstage. Ophelia (drowned), Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (hung?) all die offstage.
