Rosemary for Remembrance

Ophelia reenters the scene when her brother has returned, holding the plants I showed in my earlier post.  She gives her brother the piece of rosemary, and then pansies.  Once again, she is wearing only her shift.  She gives Claudius Fennel and Columbines, and gives Gertrude Rue while keeping some for herself.  The daisy goes to the other man standing in the room.  Ophelia has bloody scratches on her harms, and her shift is filthy.  Laertes sheds a tear for his sister, showing that he actually does care for her.
