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.
