Ophelia revised to active voice

All of the language she uses, although muddled, shows Ophelia knows what is her fate, to join the dead, and sings to prepare others for her impending death.
Ophelia keeps singing, using ambiguous language, to describe her death and future grave. Ophelia sings that “at his head” lies “a grass-green turf” (IV.v.33). Using “head” to represent the leader or the actual body part, from which all intellect, memory, emotions, and thoughts stem from; while “his” is referring to Ophelia (OED). Meanwhile “grass” could mean dismissed from position or to be freed from a fixed engagement (OED). Being “green,” surprisingly, could mean gullible, to roll a woman, or to be envious (OED). Ophelia sings that “he,” meaning herself, lies at “a grass-green turf,” thus revealing her envy for those who lie in such a place. Ophelia conveys her envy for the dead, while at the same time alluding to the fact that she will soon join them. These definitions present a disconnect between the literal and a figurative reading of this song. < For example, looking at this song in the beginning a person might assume Ophelia is speaking of Polonius, who has recently died and been buried.> However, dissecting this song shows another facet of death that concerns Ophelia. Ophelia expresses her grief at the death of Polonius and the loss of Hamlet’s love, but also because she envies the dead. < She is also using “grass-green turf” to explain her prostitution of freely given, and unrequited, love towards Hamlet.>
