Christian church
Ophelias death parodies the drowning case of 1554
She went to the water, but it is argued the water came to her and it wasn’t suicide. Water symbolizes the cleansing of sin.
If she weren’t a gentlewoman she wouldn’t have gotten a Christian burial
Clergy favours royalty
Shakespeare criticizes the church indirectly through the play
Se offendendo (self offense) – se defendendo (self defense)
Said se offendendo but should have said se defendendo. If the water did come to her than it was self-defense and not suicide. How do you defend yourself against an offense committed by yourself in defense of yourself? But it is self-defense from your life. Many people commit suicide because you are in pain
