Ophelia complex is the term used by Gaston Bachelard to refer to the links between femininity, liquids, and drowning which he saw as symbolised in the fate of Shakespeare's Ophelia.[1]

Main theme

Bachelard traced in Romanticism a nexus of ideas linking the dissolution of the self[2] - male or female - with immersion in the feminine element of water, as symbolised by Ophelia's drowning.[3]

Literary offshoots

Federico García Lorca explored the image of water and a despairing sexuality, epitomised in the Ophelia complex, throughout his writings.[4]

Exteriorised adolescence

A later, and unconnected use of the terms Ophelia complex/Ophelia syndrome was introduced by Mary Pipher in her Reviving Ophelia of 1994. There she argued for a view of Shakespeare's character as lacking inner direction, and externally defined by men (father/ brother);[5] and suggested that similar external pressures were currently faced by post-pubescent girls.[6] The danger of the Ophelia syndrome was that of abandoning a rooted childhood self, for an apparently more sophisticated but over-externalised facade self.[7]
