Abstract: The article follows the destiny of the fusion of drives and de-fusion of drives within the Shakespearean character Hamlet. Drawing from Benno Rosenberg’s theory about the mediating object, André Green’s hypothesis about Hamlet’s fraternity with Ophelia, and Catherine Chabert’s perspective on war as an expression of fraternal rivalry, the role of Ophelia is outlined as an object of drive intertwining.
