In Act IV, Scene VII of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Gertrude's account of Ophelia's death is marked by its poetic and tragic quality. She describes Ophelia's drowning with vivid imagery, emphasizing the beauty and innocence of Ophelia as she floats in the water, surrounded by flowers. Gertrude's words reflect deep sorrow and a sense of loss, highlighting the senselessness of Ophelia's fate and the impact of the surrounding chaos, illustrating the themes of madness and grief that permeate the play. Her emotional response also underscores the tragic consequences of the political and familial turmoil in Denmark.
Gertrude is Hamlet's mother. Ophelia is his love interest.
Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude, Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes.
Not at all. Polonius ends it, first by ordering Ophelia to stop communicating with Hamlet, and second by using Ophelia as a tool to get at Hamlet. Gertrude was favourable to the romance; at Ophelia's funeral she says "I hoped thou would have been my Hamlet's wife."
Hamlet Sr. was married to Gertrude. Hamlet Jr. did not marry although he did love Ophelia.
Polonius tells Claudius and Gertrude that Ophelia and Hamlet have had a relationship which Polonius had Ophelia break off, and that this might be the cause of Hamlet's wild behaviour.
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.
Ophelia tells her father polonius that her boyfriend Hamlet has gone insane.
Have someone who is close to Hamlet engage him in conversation where there are spies listening in. He does this first with Ophelia and later with Gertrude.

After Polonius reads Hamlet's letter to Ophelia, Claudius and Gertrude conclude that Hamlet's erratic behavior is a result of his love for Ophelia. They believe that his feelings for her are genuine but also suspect that there may be deeper issues at play, contributing to Hamlet's madness. This observation prompts them to further investigate the nature of Hamlet's affections and mental state. Ultimately, they decide to use Ophelia as a means to spy on Hamlet, hoping to uncover the truth behind his actions.
