Piece "Hamlet"
At the beginning of the Ophelia, Ophelia says goodbye to Laert, his brother, who is going to leave to France. Brother speaks about the relationship of Ophelia with Hamlet, Prince Danish, and how a girl should react to his courtship. Laert believes that the sister is better to reject the prince's claims, because Hamlet, being the heir to the throne, still will not be able to marry Ophelia. The exact same girl, Polonius, who does not believe that the Prince's intentions are chisty.
Later, when Hamlet allegedly goes crazy, Poloniy decides that the reason for this is the coldness of the Ophelia to the prince, and reports the king. The king submits the Ophelia to the Hamlet to look at the prince will talk to the beloved. Chatting with Ophelia, the prince behaves sharply and makes a girl to go to the monastery. Ophelia in a conversation with his father regrets the madness of the Hamlet.
Communicating with Ophelia, Hamlet continues to behave inconsistently and cynical. For example, in the scene, where wandering actors play the play "Killing Gonzago", the prince first lets the comments with an obvious erotic subtext, and then begins to spread about female impermanence.
When Hamlet kills Polonia, Ofelia's father, heroine's mind is dimming. The speeches of Ophelia become incoherent, the heroine wanders, singing devoid of the meaning of the song. Later, the Queen of Gertrud talks about the fact that Ophelia died, inadvertently falling into the river, and one of the gravers in the cemetery is convinced that the heroine committed suicide. On this short and complete tragedy, the biography of Ophelia is completed.

"Here is Rosemary - this is for memoriality: take a friend, and remember. And these are pansies: It is to think. "" White savanna of white roses, a tree in bloom, and a face to raise non-tears in tear. "" ... she tried to raise their wreaths on the branches; The cunning bitter broke, and herbs and she herself fell into sobbing flow. Her clothes, spreading, carried her like a nymph; She takes place between those sang sang, as if he had not chulded trouble or was the creation born in the elements of water; So it could not last, and the robe, heavily drunk, unhappy from the sounds carried away into the quagger of death.
