Ophelia's suicide was a "muddy death "muddy, muddy, cloudy, cloudy, dark, dirty, stained, dark, dark, etc. ... 
Do not take this expression in terms of moral, certainly prevalent with regard to the Suicide is the subject of a conviction even today. Many people consider a suicide in their family is a task that will be difficult to wash. If decency still exists today, I think this is where we can meet her.
Ophelia is presented as the hitherto virgin, pure sexually, the "white." At least that is what is asked by his father and brother.
Ophelia is a "wise beauty," "honest" (chaste, wise, virtuous, but also honest, honorable, loyal, trustworthy), a "nymph" who knew no sexuality.
It is also virtuous to which the court has to find the truth from Hamlet. Why is it so weird? Read a book while walking, you can imagine that this is not normal! Necessarily a sign of madness.
Ophelia is the virtue which allows to read and understand the madness of Hamlet. Rushed to him, his father Polonius and Queen Gertrude are responsible for solving the mystery of his strange behavior.
Similar in that the Sphinx sent by Hera and the regent Creon to discover the truth about the murder of Laius king of Thebes. The Sphinx is also sometimes presented as "a cruel singer", similar to a siren as we have seen Ophelia . The fate of the Sphinx is the same as that of Ophelia, she défenestrer . The truth is still killing!
Moreover, Oedipus does not reveal any secrets. The Sphinx either. The truth will emerge only after. Another trait shared by Ophelia with the Sphinx. And Ulysses too. Because otherwise, why should we not that its sailors can hear the song of sirens? Would not this the secret of sexual intercourse (a fake secret since there are none according to Lacan). For the Sphinx, the origin of the parentage of Oedipus is his brother. For Odysseus, sexual seduction direct voice sirens (for Ophelia, we will immediately see a few lines in which the sex is concerned).
Ophelia fills the same function as the new Gradiva by Jensen commented on by Freud. It is an enigmatic character capable of unlocking the secrets of each. Freud compares his action that of the psychoanalyst. Whoever maintains that the subject has always known who he was veiled.
But the attitude of Ophelia is not only of this nature. It betrays Hamlet from the start, because she promised her brother.
Hamlet immediately sniffs the duplicity of Ophelia. He soon realizes that it is presented to him by his father ordered to spy on him. In fact, Hamlet knows he betrayed. He wanted a woman who does not want a child who does not want to marry, which is virtuous, chaste and faithful. Hamlet wanted her to remain "chaste as ice, pure as snow [1] .
In short, Hamlet would not hear of a virgin sexual magnet. He did not fall into the trap of desire structurally misleading. He did not become a monster, one that beckons you, that you "watch". Bringing the cuckold horns. He who loves a woman without knowing she loves another.
Hamlet says when he did not like. Negation in the future perfect. The love of Hamlet for Ophelia is literally barred. It could have been, it was not. "I do not love you." His love has not happened and he says to Ophelia.
Ophelia falls sharply. It goes from the sublime beauty to filth on the bench of love. It is "muddy," "disorder," "defiled," "stained, as will his death. How not to think about waste, waste, the mud and shit? One form of the object that psychoanalysis obsessive highlighted.
This expression comes from the mouth of the queen, "muddy death", should no surprise.
As Lacan has taught the fascinating beauty is the last barrier to cross before reaching the horror of the subject has . The sublime beauty and staining dark are two sides of the same thing, they point the object becomes waste that Ophelia after the fall.
Furthermore, we know the grievances against the mother of Hamlet. He presents it as one that wallows in the mud and the mire with the king's brother.
Ophelia just intensify the image of Gertrude. Hamlet, in fact, criticizes his mother for having married his father buried immediately. She has "glutted the quagmire [2] " for:
"Mariner in debauchery, to the hug and love
wallow in a foul ... [3] .
To his mother, Hamlet asks Ophelia what will then "break your neck falling [4] .
In return, Hamlet wishes Ophelia to what he denounced for his mother.
"Hell rebel
If thou canst mutiny in the bones of a matron,
For flaming youth let virtue be as wax as
And back to his own fire. More modesty
When the compulsive ardor storms,
Since even the gel burns as strongly
And the reason is the bawd desire [5] "
Hamlet would have loved the beauty of Ophelia, if that virtue was" inoculated [ 6] . If the enjoyment of beauty it was not grafted. If virtue is negotiating with its beauty, is that his virtue and reason are corrupt and subject to the beauty and enjoyment. "The reason is the madam of desire."
sends Hamlet Ophelia will walk in a "nunnery [7] , a cloister, but certainly mostly a brothel, a brothel. That of sexual debauchery.
The set is a kind of crossroads where Hamlet wishes for what the other one did. For his mother, the lair, for Ophelia's suicide. Ophelia will do what Hamlet really wants for his mother. For his mother who enjoys the love he wanted. To Ophelia he loves, he does not want his enjoyment and love denied. Ophelia is the ugly face of Gertrude and monstrous. Both embody the same for Hamlet. These are the two faces of the same object.
