Detailed explanation-1: -At Ophelia’s next appearance, after her father’s death, she has gone mad, due to what the other characters interpret as grief for her father. She talks in riddles and rhymes, and sings some “mad” and bawdy songs about death and a maiden losing her virginity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ophelia’s death results from Hamlet’s madness and his telling Ophelia that she needs to go to a nunnery. The cause of Ophelia’s suicide was mainly from Hamlet’s madness. Hamlet’s madness came first from seeing the ghost of his father.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ophelia’s madness stems from her lack of identity and her feelings of helplessness regarding her own life. While the death of Hamlet’s father made him angry enough to want revenge, Ophelia internalized the death of her father as a loss of personal identity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laertes /leɪˈɜːrtiːz/ is a character in William Shakespeare’s c. 1600 play Hamlet. Laertes is the son of Polonius and the brother of Ophelia. In the final scene, he mortally stabs Hamlet with a poison-tipped sword to avenge the deaths of his father and sister, for which he blamed Hamlet.
