"Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight"
I'm confused about what she means that ophelia was crushed by her own weight. I see Hamlet's Ophelia as being the senseless victim of Hamlet's path of destruction. She represents the unintended concequences of our selfish actions. Hamlet dumps her because he is consumed by the hatred for his uncle and the injustice of his father's death. Then he kills her father accidentally in a fit of rage while lashing out at his uncle and mother. Ophelia drowns herself because she cannot handle the cruelty of it all. How is this Ophelia's own weight?
If anything, she provides an example of how we need to care for all of humanity.
I think what she means is that ophelia had taken this onto herself..and added it to her own weight??..but thats just my guess..
