From the lecture:
“Go beyond the obvious. Look for other possibilities.”
“The Fate of Ophelia” by Taylor Swift uses Shakespeare’s character Ophelia as a metaphor for a tragic, heartbroken end, but reclaims the story to say that a new love saved her from that fate. The song describes a period of deep sadness and loss of self (“drowned in melancholy”) that was ended when a new partner rescued her from this metaphorical demise. Swift subverts the tragic ending of the original play by having her subject save her from meeting the same tragic fate.
“BERLIN (AP) — A German museum has been unexpectedly overrun by Taylor Swift fans because one of its paintings bears a striking resemblance to the opening scene of Swift’s current No. 1 hit video, “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Hundreds of additional visitors came to the Hessische Landesmuseum in the central German city of Wiesbaden over the weekend to admire the painting, with one family traveling from the northern city of Hamburg especially for the occasion, museum spokesperson Susanne Hirschmann told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Among the visitors were also many American families who are stationed at an U.S. Army base in Wiesbaden.
The Swifties’ goal: an Art Nouveau painting by Friedrich Heyser featuring Ophelia, Hamlet’s beloved in William Shakespeare’s play of the same name.
In the original play, Ophelia, a young noblewoman of Denmark, ultimately becomes mad and drowns.
Heyser’s oil-on-canvas painting presents the figure of Ophelia clad in white and surrounded by white water lilies. The painting’s exact year of creation is not known but experts believe it dates back to around 1900.
In the opening scene of the video for the hit song “The Fate of Ophelia,” Swift slips into the role of Ophelia and becomes a living painting.
The scene shows similarities to the work of Heyser, museum director Andreas Henning told German news agency dpa.
Hirschmann said the museum team recognized the resemblance earlier this month and decided to invite Swifties for a special tour next month. Once they had posted an announcement of the tour on their website, news of the Ophelia painting soon went viral online.
“We’re really enjoying this attention — it’s a lot of fun,” Hirschmann told the AP, adding that all fans showing up for the Nov. 2 tour “Taylor Swift’s ‘Ophelia’ at the Wiesbaden museum” dressed as the pop star or as “the tragic beauty Ophelia” will be able to attend the tour for free.
There’s just one problem: the tour is already completely booked, so the museum may just have to add additional tours for all art-crazed Swiftie fans.
Henning said the museum has already tried to contact the singer, but has had no success so far getting a hold of the world star. “I would love to show Taylor Swift the original painting sometime,” he said.
“We are surprised and delighted that Taylor Swift used this painting from the museum as inspiration for her video,” Henning said. “This is, of course, a great opportunity to attract people to the museum who don’t know us yet.”
The museum said it does not know for sure if the art work served as a template for Swift’s song, which is currently a No. 1 hit both in Germany and the United States.

The image shows the painting The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting depicts the biblical story from the Book of Genesis, in which humanity, unified by a single language, attempts to build a tower to reach heaven.
“Shipwrecks and other disasters at sea were a recurrent theme in Romantic painting. They demonstrated the primal force of the elements, a nightmare for all who travelled far from home. Turner retained a lifelong passion for the sea.
We don’t know whether this painting was inspired by an actual shipwreck, or the reissue in 1804 of a famous poem on the theme by William Falconer. Turner defines the essence of such an experience through overwhelming impressions of realism and horror. The dark tonality, characteristic of Turner’s early paintings, provides a foil to the white crests and swirls of the waves.”
The museum added call to action:

The image is an illustration of a character that combines the likeness of William Shakespeare with the lightning-bolt scar of Harry Potter. This type of creative work is known as fan fiction, which is a genre of writing where fans create new stories using existing characters or settings from a work of fiction.
Fan fiction can be based on a wide range of source material, including movies, TV shows, books, and even video games.
The practice of writing fan fiction has been around for decades, but it gained significant popularity with the rise of the internet.
Fan fiction allows writers to explore different themes, alternate universes, or what-if scenarios with their favorite characters.
