Detailed explanation-1: -Throughout the play, Ophelia first obeyed her father and brother’s wishes, ignored the social norms later, and then went mad, which caused her to never gain her own identity. To stay in control, the men in Hamlet taught Ophelia to fear her every day, natural thoughts causing her not to think for herself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet and Ophelia both display symptoms of it, but each become mad for different reasons. Hamlet’s madness is fueled by his father’s death and his desire to seek revenge on the man who killed him. Ophelia’s madness stems from her lack of identity and her feelings of helplessness regarding her own life.
Detailed explanation-3: -On the stage, Ophelia was costumed in virginal white to contrast with Hamlet’s scholarly black, and in her mad scene she entered with dishevelled hair, singing bawdy songs, and giving away her flowers, symbolically deflowering herself. Drowning, too, was a symbolically feminine death.
Detailed explanation-4: -wat is the difference between the madness of ophelia and hamlet? ophelia is actually mad, and not on purpose, but by external measures. hamlet was just acting mad for show.
