The Ophelia Complex refers to a psychological and cultural concept derived from Shakespeare's character Ophelia in "Hamlet." It describes the tendency of women to be defined by their relationships with men, often leading to self-sacrifice and emotional turmoil. This complex highlights how societal expectations can pressure women to prioritize their identities and worth based on male approval or attachment, ultimately exploring themes of dependency and mental health. It serves as a critique of gender dynamics and the limitations imposed on women's roles in society.
