CRAZY

I took a Shakespeare class in high school (about two years ago). Out
professor told us that the flowers signified the loss of Ophelia's
sanity caused by the rejection of her lover, Hamlet, and the murdering
of her father, Polonius(sp?), by which Hamlet is guilty. Also, he
said that it was questionable whether Ophelia took her own life,
or accidentially fell in the water.
