Detailed explanation-1: -The catalyst that brings Ophelia to her end is Polonius’ death by Hamlet’s hand. Ophelia’s estranged lover killed her father on a whim, thinking he was a rat behind a tapestry. At this point in the drama, Ophelia has no recourse or protection.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gertrude unwittingly drinks the poisoned wine intended for Hamlet. During the duel Laertes scratches Hamlet’s leg, infecting him with the poison. The fight turns more violent and Hamlet mortally wounds Laertes in return. Gertrude succumbs to the poisoned wine and dies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some see Ophelia’s death as an accident; others see it as a suicide resulting from the accumulation of a series of unfortunate events: her rejection by her boyfriend, her father’s murder, and her possible pregnancy.
