* CrucifiedHeroShot: Ophelia is depicted floating on her back with her arms slightly outstretched, accepting of her fate. The pose is also one traditionally used in depictions of saints and/or martyrs; Ophelia herself is something of a LoveMartyr for Hamlet, whose mistreatment of her is a major cause of her despair.
Added DiffLines:
* PimpedOutDress: Ophelia is wearing a fine-looking dress with intricate gold detailing, that almost makes her blend in with her surroundings.

!!Tropes in this painting:
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The flowers in the painting don't all bloom at the same time. The reason for this is that Millais painted them all from nature over a few months.
* FlowerMotifs: Ophelia is surrounded by numerous types of flowers which all have symbolic meaning.
** The violets around Ophelia's neck symbolize faithfulness and chastity, but also death.
** The willow above her head and the pansies in the water symbolize unrequited love and love in vain respectively, referring to her complex relationship with Hamlet.
** The nettles represent pain.
** The daisies by her hand represent innocence.
* LifeDeathJuxtaposition: Ophelia is drowning in a pond surrounded by lush greenery.
* TheOphelia: A depiction of the TropeNamer. Here, Ophelia is a lovely young woman whose insanity means she drowns herself while singing merry songs.
* SymbolicSereneSubmersion: Depicts the beautiful yet unstable Ophelia giving in to her drowning in a river.
* TheTragicRose: There are roses drifting by Ophelia's face and dress, alluding to her brother calling her "the rose of May", and to her fleeting happiness and tragic drowning.
