Ophelia Response

I have never read Hamlet so this story was pretty new to me. This was a synopsis about the character Ophelia from the Shakespearean play, Hamlet. I took this as a tragic love story honestly. I say this because Ophelia wanted to pursue in Hamlet, but her father had forbid it. It really didn't matter anyway because Hamlet did not declare love for Ophelia the first time around. He then later came back claiming how he had loved her so much when he returned because of her death. Ophelia's mother had assumed that Ophelia's death had to do with the stress from her father and the realization of Hamlet not loving her as she had loved him.
