In Hamlet, Ophelia did not have a choice. Hamlet put on such a display of madness that Ophelia and everyone else believed him. If Ophelia revealed that the King and Polonius were behind the curtains, she would have lost favor with her father and become the shame of the family. In the male centric world, women like Ophelia could only accept the outrageous ideals set by men. In her situation, she choose her father because that was her only choice.

How are Antigone Gertrude from Hamlet and Ophelia Hamlet similar?
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.
Why do the two gravediggers argue over whether or not Ophelia should receive a Christian burial?
Because Ophelia was thought to have committed suicide and suicides were not entitled to Christian burial. This is a little unfair on Ophelia since, from Gertrude's account of her death, she had no intention of drowning herself and died by accident.

What scene does Hamlet give Ophelia gifts in Shakespeare's play Hamlet?
There's no scene where Hamlet gives Ophelia gifts. We understand that he has, because of the 'Nunnery Scene,' in Act 3, Scene 1, where Ophelia returns Hamlet's gifts. In that scene, she says "My lord, I have remembrances of yours, That I have longed long to redeliver; I pray you, now receive them." By the way, "remembrances" are keepsakes, sentimental gifts, like a flower for example.
