What remains constant is the fact that her death is romanticized. More than that, idealized. Type her name into Google and you can quickly find hundreds of depictions of flower-crowned girls in ponds with thousands of reblogs on Tumblr. Those many, many versions of her are uniformly gorgeous, almost dreamy. Everyone picks up on Ophelia being "mermaid-like" with her garlands of flowers. There's very little acknowledgment of her abrupt and muddy death. That's not pretty. It's not picturesque. While Hamlet gets long soliloquies and self-introspection, Ophelia gets lute playing and off-stage drowning. - Nadine Akkerman, "Dead Woman in the Bathtub"
