초록
This paper examines the way in which Ophelia, dying her tragic death with her limited lines on the stage, plays a decisive role in the completion of Hamlet. The protagonist suffers great anguish in the process of putting revenge into practice, leading many critics to classify him as a ‘modern man’ who differs from the medieval man obedient to God’s will. By contrast, Ophelia has far fewer lines than Hamlet, even though her suffering is no less terrible than that of the protagonist. Thus, while readers and audiences may understand Hamlet’s pain through his seven soliloquies, they might have difficulty appreciating Ophelia’s thoughts and emotions properly due to her lack of lines and stage directions. However, one of the overarching themes of the play, ‘Life and Death,’ or ‘Killing (Revenge) and Keeping (Revenge Delayed),’ is revealed to us significantly by way of Hamlet’s gaining insight through her death, which emphasizes Ophelia’s role as a foil to Hamlet. Therefore, Ophelia’s role as a character on and off the stage is essential to conveying the theme of Hamlet, and her death is necessary to complete the tragicality of the play.
Abstract
This paper examines the way in which Ophelia, dying her tragic death with her limited lines on the stage, plays a decisive role in the completion of Hamlet. The protagonist suffers great anguish in the process of putting revenge into practice, leading many critics to classify him as a ‘modern man’ who differs from the medieval man obedient to God’s will. By contrast, Ophelia has far fewer lines than Hamlet, even though her suffering is no less terrible than that of the protagonist. Thus, while readers and audiences may understand Hamlet’s pain through his seven soliloquies, they might have difficulty appreciating Ophelia’s thoughts and emotions properly due to her lack of lines and stage directions. However, one of the overarching themes of the play, ‘Life and Death,’ or ‘Killing (Revenge) and Keeping (Revenge Delayed),’ is revealed to us significantly by way of Hamlet’s gaining insight through her death, which emphasizes Ophelia’s role as a foil to Hamlet. Therefore, Ophelia’s role as a character on and off the stage is essential to conveying the theme of Hamlet, and her death is necessary to complete the tragicality of the play.
