Ophelia (character) → Ophelia – Ophelia is a redirect to Ophelia (character) with a page history. (Disambiguation page is at Ophelia (disambiguation)). Per KISS principle, Ophelia (character) should be at Ophelia. -- Zoz (t) 21:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd say being accidentally stabbed behind a curtain once isn't brutal. I've removed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.110.220.88 ( talk) 12:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
Should we not mention the current idiom, of "ophelia" being a feminist representation of women who don't think for themselves. I hate feminism, and am not representing such in my argument. But when I hear the word "ophelia", it is always used in the sense of "ophelia syndrome," "ophelia learns to swim," "reviving ophelia," etc. -- Mrcolj 13:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

In Gustav Meyrink's The White Dominican, the play it's about Ophelia. Sorry I'm not speak English. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.78.40.43 ( talk) 10:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC).
The list of influences is longer then the article about the character. Maybe some of the less significant influences should be removed? It seems alot of relatively unknown bands mention Ophelia, do we really need a list of every single one? -- darkskyz 12:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I split it into a diffrent article, maybe it should be merged with the Hamlet article. darkskyz 12:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Rufus Wainwright's version of 'Halelujah' doesn't sound like 'mad Ophelia'.. deleted it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.69.92.145 ( talk) 10:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/get-thee-nunn-ry contains a substantial portion of the middle section of the article; which was the original and which was copied?#### —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.246.191.57 ( talk) 09:49, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
The name "Ophelia" itself was either uncommon or nonexistent; the only known prior text to use the name (as "Ofalia") is Jacopo Sannazaro's Arcadia.
How exactly was the name inexistent?

Ophelia (character) → Ophelia — By far, this article is the primary topic and the character is the inspiration for most, if not all, of the items listed on the disambiguation pages. Googling "Ophelia" brings this article up as the first result. And, from a page-view perspective, this trounces all the other articles except for the painting: 700 views per day for this article, 435 for the painting, 227 for the disambiguation pager (which you need to go through if you search Wikipedia for "Ophelia"), 55 for the album, and 13 for the moon. (using stats.grok.se for July 2009). As this nearly almost gets as many page views as the rest combined (albeit for two spikes in viewing for the painting), this should take preference.

A few sentences in the plot summary are clearly interpretation. Unless these interpretations are found in secondary sources, they are considered original research and can't be included in the section. I added original research? tags in hopes someone can find a source to support these claims, or else they will have to be removed. 24.190.34.219 ( talk) 20:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I thought that all references to a "nunnery" in Shakespeare actually refer to a brothel, the article doesn't mention this, and the link is actually misleading. PatGallacher ( talk) 21:28, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
“ | A quibble [pun] is to Shakespeare, what luminous vapours are to the traveller; he follows it at all adventures; it is sure to lead him out of his way, and sure to engulf him in the mire. It has some malignant power over his mind, and its fascinations are irresistible. Whatever be the dignity or profundity of his disquisition, whether he be enlarging knowledge or exalting affection, whether he be amusing attention with incidents, or enchaining it in suspense, let but a quibble spring up before him, and he leaves his work unfinished. A quibble is the golden apple for which he will always turn aside from his career, or stoop from his elevation. A quibble, poor and barren as it is, gave him such delight, that he was content to purchase it, by the sacrifice of reason, propriety, and truth. A quibble was to him the fatal Cleopatra for which he lost the world, and was content to lose it. | ” |
This section has a tenuous relationship with the subject matter at best. Frankly looks like it was inserted by Ms. Pipher herself. I'm no editor here, but I would delete the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingdeInternet ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
This article currently states that the original Italian of Sannazaro had "Ofelia". But all the old copies I was able to find online had "Ophelia":
If anyone can find an earlier copy with "f", that would be interesting to see. 98.170.164.88 ( talk) 17:24, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
