Study of a Romantic Martyr
Ophelia made a wreath of flowers and attempted to hang it on the branches of the willow. While doing so, she slipped and fell into the brook.
Her clothing spread out over the surface of the water, keeping her afloat for a moment, while she sang songs of praise, or perhaps hymns.
She's unaware of her life-threatening danger. After all, the young woman has gone mad, and apparently did nothing to try and escape her watery death.
Ophelia were a water nymph, a mermaid, who fits in so well with this scene that it’s as if she belonged there, as if it were her home.
Responsible for all aspect and concept.
Shakespeare's Hamlet - ACT4 scene 7 -
Gertrude:
There, on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clamb'ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide
And mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up;
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes,
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and endued unto
that element. But long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.
