Gertrude and Ophelia as for many women of their society don't have authority in many situations. For some reason they long to have a man above them having power to rule at least over them. For example, Gertrude marries Claudius very soon after the death of her first husband even though she did love her first hussy. Ophelia is deeply in love with Hamlet and even after the fact that he willing tells her to go to the nunnery. Along with other horrible things to say to her.
