Ophelia's suicide in Shakespeare's Hamlet is driven by a combination of profound personal losses, emotional turmoil, and societal pressures. Key factors include the death of her father Polonius at the hands of Hamlet, the loss of her lover Hamlet’s affection and presence, and the absence of support from her brother Laertes. These events leave Ophelia isolated, grief-stricken, and unable to cope with the overwhelming pressures placed on her in a patriarchal society that demands male guidance and protection. Her madness before death, symbolized by her distribution of flowers with specific meanings, expresses her sorrow and internal struggles. Ultimately, whether her death by drowning was a deliberate suicide or a tragic accident is ambiguous, but it clearly represents her final escape from the emotional agony and loss of agency she endured.
