Detailed explanation-1: -Ophelia kills herself because the fate of Denmark is placed on her shoulders when she is asked to more or less spy on Hamlet, her father has been murdered (by her former lover no less), from the confusion created by her father and brother with regard to the meaning of love, and her suicide is even an act of revenge.
Detailed explanation-2: -She is only defined by being controlled and hurt by men. The lines from Ophelia, “I shall obey, my lord, ” represent and support this fragile submissiveness that eventually kills her.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Ophelia go mad? Ophelia goes mad because her father, Polonius, whom she deeply loved, has been killed by Hamlet. In addition, Hamlet, whom she also loved, has cruelly rejected her.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rejected by Hamlet, Ophelia is now desolate at the loss of her father. She goes mad and drowns.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ophelia’s drowning is the consummate representation of an eternal retreat into the feminine, trading an individual voice for eternal silence in union with feminine essence. In turn, her death expresses the danger of reducing an individual to his or her gender and disregarding the voice of the marginalized.
