By allowing Ophelia to believe that Hamlet is insane and killing Ophelia’s father, Polonius, without thinking, Hamlet’s obsession with revenge causes not only the downfall of Ophelia and Hamlet’s relationship, but also causes the emotional downfall of Ophelia, which leads to her untimely death.

explicitly states Margaret’s motivation for doing that: ‘The slave mother … killed her child rather than see it taken back to slavery’ (557). These slaves saw death a better alternative than slavery and for the love they had for their children, they preferred killing them than allowing them see the dehumanizing institution of slavery.

Hedda suddenly cannot stand the relationship between them because now Mrs. Elvsted has achieved a kind of relationship with Løvborg that Hedda was unable to have. She starts to attempt to destroy the relationship by revealing Mrs. Elvsted’s love for Eilert Løvborg. When this backfires, she takes a more radical approach and burns the manuscript they created together, a symbol of their love.
