polonius
ophelia, also, has been defended by feminists, most notably by elaine showalter. ophelia is surrounded by powerful men: her father, brother, and hamlet. all three disappear: laertes leaves, hamlet abandons her, and polonius dies. conventional theories had argued that without these three powerful men making decisions for her, ophelia was driven into madness. feminist theorists argue that she goes mad with guilt because, when hamlet kills her father, he has fulfilled her sexual desire to have hamlet kill her father so they can be together. showalter points out that ophelia has become the symbol of the distraught and hysterical woman in modern culture, a symbol which may not be entirely accurate nor healthy for women.
