Character of English literature
Ophelia is one of the characters in the play "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. Initially there is love potential between her and Hamlet, but the relationship does not come to fruition, because Hamlet decides to focus on the recent death of his father. After the dramatic ending in which most of the characters die, including Hamlet, Ophelia goes mad and starts singing while she wanders aimlessly. Distractedly she enters into the river and dies drowned.
(171) Ophelia is related with the adaptation to love cycles in personal relationships.
Every cycle has a beginning and an end, and it is important to know how to adapt to each of its phases, taking advantage of what life offers in the present moment.
"Centennial" (1978)
In full cycle of love, the activity is fluid and stable: everything happens naturally and predictably. When a relationship ends, it is necessary to accept it internally, in order to be able to move on with life and start new relationships in a healthy way.
