Ophelia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAsRH8NYLw
Ophelia is an important character in Hamlet but a lot of things about her is unclear (for example her relationship with Hamlet). Many artists painted her out of their imagination, and I thought it would be interesting to see how people saw her. These pictures might be helpful to understand the importance of Ophelia and her death, which would help to understand Hamlet more.

What I like about this website is that it only analyses Hamlet, and his quotes. It concentrates on Hamlet so if you want to study him in depth this website is very useful. There are links to other topics/characters as well.
