message: 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)

thread_title:  Ophelia in art and literature 

message: 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)
replies: text: I think almost all of it would be better placed in References to Hamlet, with a summary and a  link here. Some of it already is in that article.  —Celithemis 06:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In the anne rices novels Blackwood farm and Blood canticle the character Mona Mayfair calls herself Ophelia Immortal, should this be added to the Art and Literature? James Castle 15:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's basically trivia which Wiki frowns on. Pop Culutre references should only be included if they are a) notable, and b) significantly affected how people perceive the original work (and include a sourced description of how the reference did so). 24.190.34.219 (talk) 20:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  goon 

message: 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?

message: Does "Gertrude's announcement of Ophelia's death is one of the most poetic death announcements in literature" violate NPOV? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.146.69 (talk • contribs) 
::Not if it has a reliable secondary source to back it up, though changing it to "is considered one of the" would also probably help allievate any NPOV issues along with the source. 24.190.34.219 (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: 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  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)

thread_title:  In non fiction - Mary Pipher 

message: 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":
* 1514: "Ophelia in contrario diceua eſſer ſuo, et con ambe le mani ſi tenea per le corna il guadagnato ariete."
* 1524: "Ophelia in cõtrario diceua eſſer ſuo, & con ambe le mani ſi tenea per le corna il guadagnato ariete."
* 1534: "Ophelia in contrario diceua eſſer ſuo, & con ambe le mani ſi tenea per le corna il guadagnato ariete."
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)
