Detailed explanation-1: -Gertrude enters with tragic news. Ophelia, mad with grief, has drowned in the river. Anguished to have lost his sister so soon after his father’s death, Laertes flees the room.
Detailed explanation-2: -She tells him that Ophelia is dead; she has drowned.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gertrude interrupts their plotting with her report of Ophelia’s drowning. She describes the young woman’s death graphically, explaining how she had fallen in the brook while weaving flower garlands; the willow tree branch on which she was sitting broke so that she tumbled into the water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Her death reasserts her bond with another woman and confirms her alienation from all the men in her life, who failed her. That is why it is reported by Gertrude and in such a strikingly beautiful way.
Detailed explanation-5: -SARAH: Ophelia made a wreath of flowers and attempted to hang it on the branches of the willow. While doing so, she slipped and fell into the brook.
