"Abandoned" systematically by the four men of importance in her life Ophelia is left by the end of Act 3 with no one to whom she may turn. In effect, it can be compared to losing all four of one's limbs, leaving a person unable to move. Observe: Laertes: Leaves her to pursue his own desires in Frances
Hamlet: Withdraws his protestations of love upon sensing her father's trap
Claudius: Has no use for her after the trap fails to prove Hamlet's love is the problem
Polonius: After his meddling loses Hamlet for Ophelia, it costs Polonius his life.
