초록보기

Although Ophelia was only a minor role in Hamlet by William Shakespeare, her character became a great muse to the writer, artist, and musician for centuries. In the nineteenth century, people were fascinated by madness with a great interest in human emotion. The Elizabethan era considered feminine insanity due to lost love to be a common situation such that the literature's convention satisfied romantic and early modern composers.

This paper serves as a character study of Ophelia by interpreting her texts and her mad scene. It also includes a background of the author, the play, and history. The reader will attain a better understanding of Ophelia's character and her texts in the play, as well as how composers express feminine madness in their work.

This paper focuses on one art song and one opera scene that portray Ophelia's mad scene: Drei Lieder der Ophelia by Richard Strauss and Ophelia's mad scene in Act IV, scene V from the opera Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas. Learning Ophelia's text, character, and musical analysis of both works will help high sopranos to perform as Ophelia.
