But because of Hamlet's desire to avenge his father's death and Ophelia's desire to obey her father, both died in sorrow, with the rest of Hamlet's family. This play depicts the tragedy of death and how revenge does not end well. In fact, it shows how revenge can lead to madness and disruption of the natural order. It causes anger and hatred, something uncontrollable. Ophelia's death shows how cruel revenge is and how one cannot realize who is affected by one's actions. Ophelia's innocence provides a clear connection to the theme of the play: mortality. His death shows how even the most naive and delicate situations can be affected by the horrors of death, revenge and violence..
