The one question in particular that I chose to write about is did Hamlet really love Ophelia? This argument can go both ways, however I feel that Hamlet did love Ophelia. To back up my decision I have taken quotes from the play, and with them I will prove that Hamlet's feelings for Ophelia were true.

In conclusion, I feel that with time, Hamlet would have some his love for Ophelia. This scene comes shortly after Hamlet learns of his late father's murder. His claims of love, and his horrible reaction to her rejection prove his love.
