In act 4, scene 5 of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’, Ophelia gives flowers to several people to express her grief. She gives rosemary flowers to Laertes (symbolizes remembrance), pansies to Laertes (faithfulness), fennel flowers to the King (sarcastic flattery), columbine flowers to the King (foolishness), rue flowers to the Queen (bitterness), and daisies and violets to no one (loss of innocence).
