Okay, first of all Ophelia is not a character from the Tempest!. She's in Hamlet and is Hamlet's ill-fated love interest!.

also, I'm not convinced that really is a painting of Ophelia!. I think whoever titled the painting on the photobucket page might have made a mistake!. Usually Ophelia's shown as a tragic figure and usually looks a little crazier or is shown drowning in water!. In the painting you're asking about the woman looks way too calm and radiant!.

If it's a picture of Ophelia you're looking for, then check out this website: http://www!.wiliqueen!.com/ophelia/index!.h!.!.!. That site bills itself as the most complete Ophelia gallery on the web and has examples of the famous Ophelia paintings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
