Ophelia

    Ophelia is an extremely  unique character that has been portrayed differently in various productions of Hamlet. One major difference of Ophelia's portrayal that sticks out to me is that her portrayal by Brannaugh and zeffirelli are completey oppisite to her portrayal in the painting shown in the assignment. In the films she completely loses her mind, acting crazy around everyone. But in the painting Ophelia looks as though she is at peace with herself, she does not look like someone who was crazy in the past life. I found it an intresting comparison, between the painting and the film version.
