Is Ophelia from Hamlet a well rounded female character?

Not really. She's rather static in that all we know is she loves Hamlet. She goes crazy, for Hamlet. She kills herself, over Hamlet. Very one note if you ask me.

Not entirely; She was very dependent and wasn't her own woman. She needed a man by her side most of the time. (Her brother and Hamlet mostly)

Not really, but then, I have yet to read a well rounded female character.
No matter the author, the female characters seem to be defined by their faults.

Hamlet (Penguin) (Shakespeare, Penguin) by William Shakespeare is good would be the understatement of the decade. Hamlet proves to be a masterpiece of masterpieces -a shining paradigm of unparalleled magnificence unlike any other play ever written. I thoroughly enjoyed Julius Caesar, Othello, Macbeth, Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo & Juliet, The Tempest, etc.
