・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・𝐎𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 ・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. ・This painting depicts the death of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Traumatised by her family, her cancelled betrothal and the murder of her father by her fiancé, Ophelia drowns in a stream after roaming the countryside looking for flowers. ・Symbolism. The weeping willow tree leaning over Ophelia is a symbol of forsaken love. The nettles that are growing around the willow's branches represent pain. The daisies floating near Ophelia's right hand represent innocence. ——im so sorry for not Adding an ophelia painting by Friedrich Heyser 🤍u003C33
