Ophelia

Ophelia, the enigmatic character from Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet," has been etched in our cultural consciousness for centuries. Her tragic tale of love, betrayal, and madness has inspired numerous adaptations in various art forms, including movies, television shows, and songs. This essay explores the different mediums through which Ophelia's story has been retold, showcasing some of the most notable works over the years.

In 1990, Franco Zeffirelli directed "Hamlet," featuring Mel Gibson as the tormented Danish prince and Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia. This cinematic adaptation explored Ophelia's descent into madness with haunting visuals and compelling performances, cementing the characters' place in cinematic history. You can delve into the soundtracks of the film and relive the haunting atmosphere of the story; the music is available for play and download here.

Another notable adaptation of Ophelia's story can be found in the TV series "Sons of Anarchy." This critically acclaimed show, which ran from 2008 to 2014, reimagined Ophelia as a character named Ophelia Lovibond, portrayed by singer and actress Ophelia Lovibond herself. While the character's narrative diverges from Shakespeare's tragedy, the thematic connection is undeniable. Through her role, Lovibond captivated audiences with her nuanced portrayal of a young woman caught in a world of violence and moral ambiguity.

The band The Lumineers also paid homage to Ophelia with their hit song of the same name released in 2016. The Lumineers' folk-rock sound combines with poetic lyrics to tell a tale of a woman plagued by her past and haunted by the memories of her lost love. The band's passionate performance and catchy melodies captured the essence of Ophelia's tragic existence, making the song a memorable addition to their discography. You can experience the emotional journey of "Ophelia" by playing and downloading it here.

In addition to these specific examples, Ophelia has been a source of inspiration for countless artists and storytellers. Across theaters, screens, and speakers, her timeless story continues to resonate with audiences of all generations. Whether it's in reinterpretations of the original Shakespearean tragedy or in the creation of entirely new narratives, Ophelia's character always brings a touch of melancholic beauty and complexity to any artistic endeavor.

A doctor then, a man of science.
A friend.
A girl who knows how to read?
A husband, little girl, what else?
A kingdom needs a king and a king needs a wife.
A light!
A light.
A lying yes is equal to a no.
A night's sleep without dreams.
A rendezvous with some satyr.
A specter.
A touch of it makes the flesh numb.
A wondrous fish indeed, inhabits the grove.
Absolutely tragic.
Absolve me.
Adultery, murder, treachery!
Afraid of all he can take from you.
Again.
Against the woman who loved you.
Ah, thank God this summer is over.
Ah, there's hot blood in the boy after all.
Ah, yes, Hamlet.
Alas indeed.
Alive but married.
All eyes are on you.
All of them frighten me.
All seeing.
An eye for an eye!
An eye for an eye.
An innocent flower.
And a husband who mulls love, not war.
And a true snake she is, in the garden of my duty.
And above all, be true to yourself.
And alas, I am no lady.
And almost naked.
And do you ladies think this punishment was fit?
And don't fight, or if you do, win.
And followed my heart and spoke my mind.
And has your own revenge grown cold?
And he did love me.
And his own hounds tore him apart.
And I am low.
And I promise you will get an excellent anatomy lesson.
And it is high time
And knowledge kills innocence as surely
And meanwhile, you do next to nothing.
And not yet long enough to forget it.
And paid with his life that very same night.
And some for me and mine.
And stared at you and spoke very strangely.
And start the fight.
And stay out of my sight!
And take care, Ophelia.
And that he himself made you a wife.
And there's no time for my brother's games.
And these threads.
And they sailed last night.
And they will find you wanting death.
And they will not see me coming.
And up here's not a place for a girl.
And we shall see to the raising of her.
And what of his father?
And whatever you do, do not look upon her face.
And when I woke, it was true.
And yet I saw my son leap into your grave.
And yet it is belladonna, the most deadly nightshade.
And yet you are not my son, but my brother.
And yet you cannot lie.
And yet, I think you pine.
And you a shepherd?
And you say it is poison.
And you?
And you've chosen well if the girl's as bawdy as her colors.
Appearances deceive.
Apple of his mother's eye.
Are you fast?
Are you not my wife?
Are you sure what you say is true?
As one day, you, my love,
As winter snow kills summer blooms.
At 19, I was with child by a man who swore he'd marry me.
At school, we dissected a corpse into his parts.
Be calm.
Be comforted, My Lord.
Be sure to dig me up,
Beauty turns men to beasts.
Belladonna means beautiful woman.
Bitten by a poisonous snake in his own garden.
Blood spilled, a kingdom lost.
Both the evening and the morning after.
Both.
Boy, what's your name?
But all of Denmark should be yours.
But even there, there were hens and they pecked.
But he did not die by my hand.
But I had my sister to defend me.
But I see he's too high.
But I think your wits are the one thing
But I'm already dead.
But I've never much loved the law.
But it is not mine.
But she is fickle and another day,
But the blood in his veins is impure.
But there is a method in his madness, trust me.
But there is nothing of my father in him.
But they didn't know I knew my poisons.
But what a lovely fish it is.
But what she wants is two ounces of my tonic.
But where's the hunter?
But without my son.
But you are twice him, I think.
But you cannot hide your true self under ladies' clothes.
But you know so already.
Can I lie in your lap?
Can you not feel them?
Claudius came to you.
Claudius shares my name,
Claudius will have you killed.
Claudius?
Come away, Hamlet, let's try farther down.
Come away, Hamlet.
Come, Gertrude.
Come.
Confess to me, the keeper of your soul.
Could I learn such secrets?
Cry out as if I frighten you.
Cry out.
Cry out.
Daisies, the day's eye.
Dead?
Diana is too aged in this weaving.
Diana turned him into a stag
Did he bestow on you some sign of love?
Did you enjoy the dancing?
Did you know I was not raised at court?
Disguise yourself as a country lass.
Do not lie there, My Lord, get up.
Do not play with me.
Do you know the cause of that?
Do you know why they call me a witch?
Do you like it?
Do you love another?
Don't be familiar or vulgar.
Don't borrow any money or lend it.
Don't touch that!
Don't wanna lose you at the end of the journey.
Dress well, but don't spend too much.
Dressed like a farmer's daughter.
Duly elected, brave and sober majesty.
Each choosing the one just weaker.
Even if he ceased to be at all?
Even now?
Even that you could not deny him?
Even the nuns?
Every day is a struggle for peace.
Every inch a king.
Faithful Horatio, will you visit my grave?
Farewell, father.
Farewell, sister.
Farewell.
Father wrote to Hamlet.
Father?
Fickle, frail.
Fickle.
For a flash, I thought you were a ghost.
For his own safety.
For what she needs.
For what?
For your lover, the prince.
Forgive me, Ophelia!
Forgive me!
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Frailty in love is not a habit of my sex.
From the graveyard for study.
From the Netherlands who decided to seek out the treasury.
Get her out of my sight.
Get me my net!
Girls are not allowed in the library
Give it back.
Give yourself a bit of a fright, did you?
Go ahead.
Go back, Ophelia!
Go on, Ophelia.
Go to her tomorrow and get me more of what I need.
Go to him, please.
Go to the nunnery!
Go!
Go.
God forgive me, Ophelia.
God help you, sir.
Gone.
Good thing you are getting married today.
Goodbye, mother.
Goodbye, my love.
Goodbye.
Goodnight, my queen.
Goodnight.
Had orders to betray him when the ship sailed.
Hamlet is dead already.
Hamlet is dead, Horatio.
Hamlet is far the better swordsman.
Hamlet is mad indeed!
Hamlet is much distressed.
Hamlet, come.
Hamlet, we can escape now.
Hamlet, you cannot do this!
Hamlet!
Hamlet!
Hamlet!
Hamlet.
Has he given you a token of his love?
Has he said he loves you?
Have mercy, spirit.
Have you seen how she wears flowers,
Have you seen how the hens in the yard peck at each other?
Have you seen my bride, Ophelia?
He behaves wildly towards me.
He bribed the gravediggers to dig up a corpse.
He dies then I die as well.
He drew his sword before I could say
He grieves, commendably, as every son who loses a father.
He has come to sell me a fish!
He haunts the corridors at night.
He helped himself.
He hid and watched her bathe.
He insults the prince?
He is dead!
He is dead.
He left the ship when word reached him you had died.
He loves power.
He made a fool of the king's brother.
He made the king laugh.
He mocked me.
He says that you have a husband.
He seems mad.
He shall burn.
He should be far away.
He should be here.
He thought it was his uncle.
He was a good man, your father,
He was quite recently married.
He wishes me someday to take his throne.
He wormed his way in through dirt.
He would have let you burn.
Her father can't afford jewels.
Her name is Mechtild.
Here is the bait for him.
Here you are.
Here's fennel for you.
Here's rosemary, for remembrance.
His father lost a father once, who was my father also.
His name was Yorick.
Hmm, my father told me it could not be so.
Hold these.
Hold your tongue and master this madness.
Horatio, we can still save him.
Horatio, you look fraught.
Horatio!
How now, Ophelia?
I am
I am
I am dying, give me the remedy.
I am just trying to survive.
I am no fish seller, Lord.
I am no longer a child.
I am no longer hungry.
I am trying.
I am yours.
I cannot tell you.
I cannot wait, Hamlet will heed only me.
I could never deny him.
I could read to you, My Lady.
I did hear the prince's friend, Horatio,
I did love him once.
I did not know it had been stolen.
I did not lose my way.
I did not lose myself to vengeance.
I didn't care, let them do to each other
I do.
I don't think I've ever felt like this before, Horatio.
I don't understand your meaning.
I dug you up as you commanded.
I enjoyed the evening.
I fear there is already.
I feared as much.
I feel like a lance has gone in between my ears.
I find no fun in fighting.
I found the poison in his cloak this very morning.
I gave you nothing, I took...
I had my remedy laid by and so I lived.
I have a remembrance I wish to return to you.
I have anointed your sword.
I have become invisible to you.
I have been worried about Hamlet's state of mind.
I have kept your secret.
I have little appetite for games.
I have missed you, Ophelia.
I have never forgotten you.
I have no interest in becoming some man's anatomy lesson.
I have witnessed his confession.
I hope she's gone to her chambers.
I hope you remember.
I hope you're not still keeping a candle lit
I knew a fool once.
I know a sadder one, Ophelia.
I know nothing of the parts of men.
I know what it is to love yours.
I love only you.
I may be a lass, but there is no call for such alas ing.
I mean, my head in your lap.
I must repulse your attentions, My Lord,
I must return to Elsinore.
I often feel as you do at night.
I once saw your uncle at a place where poisons are made.
I prefer not to learn at the point of a sword.
I remember this as an excellent place to fish.
I saw him once.
I saw it, yes.
I saw something.
I see now that you are but a prince.
I see now what people are and only you are not.
I seem to be quite alive.
I shall have to take your word for it, My Lord.
I should apologize for my behavior to you last summer.
I should tell you my story myself.
I swore vengeance.
I take my air on the pa****ts.
I think you know what I mean, Ophelia.
I think you protest too much.
I think your daughter's dangerous.
I thought any man but him.
I thought I saw it once myself.
I thought your lover was too low,
I told you to get to the nunnery.
I told you we'd have a welcome.
I took a venom that mimics death but mocks it.
I used to play at its edge.
I want nothing to do with him, father.
I want to marry you.
I want to see.
I was a mother to you, and you turned my son against me.
I was deceived in you.
I was sent by the queen.
I will be missed.
I will follow you, Ophelia.
I will not leave you.
I will not tell!
I will speak to the queen and I will beg her forgiveness.
I will, I will.
I wish someday to be a healer.
I would not want to be a lad.
I would take grass over Denmark's gilded throne.
I'd always pictured the goddess as a girl.
I'd give you some violets but they all withered
I'd lost my own.
I'll miss you.
I'll teach you later.
I'm afraid I dance like a goat.
I'm not noble, My Lady.
I'm not well, Horatio.
I'm to continue my education in France.
I'm told you spend your days
I've lived plenty long enough to know my way
If I know what I know, they're just children at play!
If I were your son, I would not soon forget you.
If we can still get you married, you'll be less of a threat.
If you must marry, marry a fool.
If you really can.
If you were beside me,
If your heart stopped, you would die.
In law, I am your brother.
In need I sought you.
In the country with a common boy
In the flesh.
In the Garden of Eden.
In the matter of your father's death.
In the wood, lives a woman.
Indeed, you should know!
Instead, I found my way to hope
Into the woods outside the castle walls?
Is all prepared?
Is it Hamlet?
It burns in me still.
It is a mere spectacle!
It is difficult for a mother
It is forgotten.
It is not my blood you have on your hands.
It is only a filthy bit of ribbon.
It is right and good to want to avenge his killing,
It is too much said.
It seems I was mistaken.
It starts now.
It was all a mistake.
It was an accident, not Hamlet's fault, but mine.
It was he who cried witchcraft when your baby died.
It was he who set the mob upon you.
It was you that turned the village
It's a snake's poison from the New World.
It's a wretched likeness.
It's good of the king to think of his safety.
It's good to be home.
It's our enemies from Norway.
It's very close in here.
Just a touch will do.
King's orders.
Laertes challenged Hamlet
Laertes does.
Laertes, hurry!
Last night, Ophelia, it was...
Learn to wait.
Leave us, Ophelia.
Leaving us for the great University of Wittenberg.
Let her be!
Let her be!
Let me loose, you'll pay for this.
Let the maiden go.
Let them talk.
Let there be light!
Let us eat.
Like a garden.
Little fish needs water?
Little less than a man.
Long live King Claudius!
Look at you.
Make sure you're not followed.
Man indeed to seduce a woman to take a crown.
Many have told it.
Married?
May he someday rise from his mother's lap.
Maybe you know the cure.
Mercilessly.
Morning, My Lady.
Most lifelike.
My brother teaches me.
My father would never allow it.
My kingdom needs me.
My Lady, quick, before the water cools.
My Lady, you raised me.
My Lord, it is your misfortune.
My Lord, it's one of the Queen's ladies in waiting.
My Lord, there is much I need to tell you.
My Lord, we heard a cry.
My Lord, you are most unjust.
My mother is like all women.
My mother was married, and she was widowed only hours ago.
My nephew has been very strange of late.
My Ophelia, my daughter, my treasure.
My Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were sent with him.
My sister and I were sent as girls to a convent in France.
My studies hurt my head a little less than my leisure.
My sweet sister, come.
My true love.
Never jewels, in her hair?
Never, Your Majesty.
Never.
No arrangement there, you loved her.
No family and no virtue left.
No father, no brother, no husband.
No fish comes willing to the fisherman.
No need to make yourself lower than you already are.
No one is going to miss you.
No one must know.
No, Hamlet lives.
No, I will not.
No, Laertes.
No, My Lord, you can't go...
No, not him.
No, Ophelia.
No, too late.
No, yours, my Lord Polonius.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
None.
Norway threatens invasion.
Not every story must end with a battle.
Not mine, Hamlet's.
Not water.
Nothing is ever as it seems.
Now be gone.
Now my blessing on you, son.
Now, if you were my child.
Now, remember, keep your own counsel.
Now, we feast.
Now, we shall see.
Now, you insult your mother?
Now.
Of all of the ladies, I'm least fond of waiting.
Of course, it was an apple that tempted a woman
Of her departed and much lamented mother.
Oh, and so handsome, so grown.
Oh, dear.
Oh, for a moment alone in the forest.
Oh, my sister!
Oh, she wants, she wants, she gets what she wants.
Oh, venom, be merciful.
Oi!
On a day such as this?
On the gate!
On the ramparts, disguised the very day your father,
One candle would not be enough.
One is baser, one better.
One is baser, one better.
Ooh, little rascal!
Ophelia,
Ophelia,
Ophelia, be afraid,
Ophelia, come in.
Ophelia, do not be so morbid.
Ophelia, they will not know.
Ophelia!
Ophelia!
Ophelia?
Ophelia.
Ophelia.
Ophelia.
Ophelia.
Ophelia.
Or were you up all night?
Or what?
Our new king is baying for blood.
Pansies for your thoughts.
Past your bedtime, eh?
Perhaps a bath is in order.
Perhaps I could mend it for you?
Perhaps it runs in families.
Perhaps you could take me to the woods and leave me there.
Perhaps, I need some air.
Perhaps, you are the cause and the cure.
Petals for my bath?
Please, come in!
Please.
Punishment for treason is well known.
Quickly, after the queen.
Read on.
Read to me then.
Remain innocent as snow.
Remember what I said.
Remember yourself, my queen.
Rest from her desires.
Rogue, seems you wear a lady's colors already.
Rolling in the dirt.
Rue for your regrets and your sister's.
Rumors abound of all shapes and sizes.
Rumors spread it was the devil's work.
Say not she is fickle.
See this.
See, he has left his arrows there.
Seem alive to me.
Seems my father's honor is much besmirched.
Shall we wager?
She is common.
She is Diana, goddess of the hunt.
She knew no man until the hunter Actaeon came upon her.
She made her home in the forest.
She needs her youth again.
She should be married as soon as possible.
She smells of garden soil.
She tells my fortune, Horatio.
She wants her tonic.
She wants me to pay for it!
She was already a king's wife.
She will have counsel.
She?
She's a healer.
She's no worse than any other woman.
Shut the door behind you.
Sing with me, Laertes.
Sit, be still.
Sit, eat.
So long that the funeral wreaths are already taken down?
So, it was no snake but Claudius.
So, yes?
Soldiers?
Some would say that's a pledge,
Someone sees you.
Something about Lord Hamlet.
Something much more important than prayer.
Stay away from my grave when I am dead.
Stay with me, talk to me.
Stop it.
Stop!
Strange indeed.
Survival isn't enough.
Swift, now.
Take her!
Take her.
Take me to her.
Take my hand.
Take the candles, my eyes are too weary to read.
Take them to the gallows!
Tell me only this, Ophelia.
Tell me, brother, how do they know
Tell me.
Tend to your own honor and I will tend to mine.
Than most people dream of.
Thank you, Your Highness, but I had no need of saving.
That is a story.
That is all he loves.
That one day I would tell my own story.
That you are innocent and wounded,
That's his uncle, the king's brother.
The air smells very ripe.
The better man does not always win.
The danger for you is very great.
The exact copy and very picture
The fish is very welcome.
The gossips are mistaken.
The gossips say there are many other things you love.
The harbor is becalmed, the ship still rests there.
The king bade them lock the gates.
The king knows the play is true.
The king requires you.
The king suspects you of treason.
The king would never know.
The king, long live the king!
The king.
The last of I saw of her, she was unwell.
The minute the ship left port,
The nobles held their election.
The only answers are from science.
The poor thing has gone mad.
The queen has dismissed you, and I will probably follow.
The queen.
The ramparts at midnight.
The righteous came to cast the devil out.
The venom mimics death but mocks it.
The wood is full of soldiers.
Then Hamlet will die at my hand.
Then he has stolen my crown from me.
Then he lives?
Then I fear for my son at university
Then I will be mad!
Then I'll take Laertes, by your leave.
Then meet me tomorrow at the old chapel by the lake.
Then she shall be one of my ladies,
Then she will not mind waiting till I catch a fish.
Then whose?
Then you are a widow.
There are many different kinds of healer.
There are men who steal corpses
There are two sides struggling in you.
There he is!
There is a convent in St. Emilion
There was no room for his ghost.
There will be talk.
There you are, Ophelia.
There you are.
There's no cause to believe it.
There's only the one thing.
These are his crimes!
These games you play, My Lord,
They are saying in the court there is a ghost up here.
They are saying the prince no longer sees you as a child.
They are set to fight.
They called his mother a witch and made to burn her.
They did not like their orders, but they obeyed the king.
They have been forbidden.
They say he ran into the queen's chamber
They say it is my father's unquiet spirit.
They say of all the queen's ladies,
They thought me dead.
They want me to marry another.
They were to throw him overboard.
They will cast you to the fire.
They will never allow it!
They will strip you, they will judge you
They're advancing on the castle.
This could prove very advantageous for us.
This is no devotional book.
This one really is a whore!
Those are her arrows.
Three drops on the tongue,
Threw me away and declared the devil vanquished.
Time and tide wait for no man.
To draw on the king.
To drink wine from the same cup.
To England.
To Hamlet?
To hurt you, Ophelia.
To Prince Hamlet!
To say you know a secret is to tell the secret.
Today the queen loves me above the rest.
Tomorrow and not soon enough.
Too late, it seems.
Too much of it will kill.
Too much, I fear.
Try to understand.
Unaccompanied, indeed.
Under that greenwood tree?
Unless they're in the books.
Unpick your threads and begin again.
Vengeance is mine.
Very much like a snake's tooth
Very sweet.
Was my mother true to my father, her husband, the king?
Watch yourself.
We are most happy you are returned.
We are ruined!
We found an old village priest who,
We go to Wittenberg today.
We must get you away from here.
We were ever men about it.
We will flee to the convent.
We'll fight in fun.
Well, then, goodbye.
Well, where can I lie?
Well. (laughs)
What a lovely idea, girls, thank you.
What are you doing here?
What did he say?
What did the king tell them to do?
What do you think you know?
What do you want? (Ophelia gasps)
What forgetting is here?
What I really wonder is, where does love reside?
What if there was someone prettier, mother,
What is inside a person?
What is the matter?
What took you so long this time?
What way is that to greet your husband?
What, you want me to pay for it?
What?
Whatever they want to up on their hill.
When her boy becomes a man and no longer hers.
When I am finished, it will be truer than life.
When my baby died inside me,
When the time comes, we will go away from here.
Where is Hamlet?
Where is Hamlet?
Where is Hamlet?
Where is Hamlet?
Where is he?
Where is my sister?
Where is your water?
Where my mother lived as a girl.
Where they will fill him with knowledge.
Where truth, or madness?
Where?
While we're on the brink of war with our neighbors.
Who are you greeting, my love?
Who are you?
Who murdered my father?
Who was hidden.
Whoa!
Why do the ladies peck at you?
